  • Title: Biochemical and histochemical estimations of liver gamma-glutamyltransferase activity in ethanol-fed rats.
    Author: Idéo G, Tempini S, Bellobuono A, Bellati G, Ronchi G.
    Journal: J Clin Chem Clin Biochem; 1980 Apr; 18(4):237-9. PubMed ID: 6103915.
    Abstract:
    Ethanol-fed rats showed significantly elevated plasma and liver gamma-glutamyltransferase activity, compared with rats fed carbohydrates isocalorically, or with untreated control animals. The activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase in liver was detected by means of both biochemical and histochemical methods. These data suggest that increased plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase activity commonly found in alcoholics can be related, at least in part, to a hepatic enhancement of the activity in the liver.
