  • Title: The association between serum triglycerides and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase activity in diabetes mellitus.
    Author: Martin JV, Hague RV, Martin PJ, Cullen DR, Goldberg DM.
    Journal: Clin Biochem; 1976 Aug; 9(4):208-11. PubMed ID: 8220.
    Abstract:
    A study conducted on 228 diabetic patients has shown a significant positive association between serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and triglyceride levels. Both fall with treatment, the most marked reduction occurring in patients on insulin. We suggest that the association between serum GGT and triglyceride levels and also the higher incidence of raised GGT and triglyceride levels in new diabetics may reflect hepatic microsomal enzyme induction of the rate-limiting enzymes of triglyceride synthesis. Serum GGT does not seem to correlate with hepatomegaly in diabetes mellitus.
