Abstract
A study conducted on 109 consecutive patients submitted for routine lipid and lipoprotein screening has shown a significant positive association between serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) activity and the serum triglyceride concentration and between serum gamma-GT activity and the serum pre-beta-lipoprotein concentration. We suggest that these associations may reflect hepatic microsomal enzyme induction in hyperlipidaemic subjects which increases the hepatic content of the rate-limiting enzyme(s) for triglyceride synthesis.Entities:
