what does gamma glutamyl transpept measure
Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGT) & antioxidant health. Gamma Glutamyltransferase or GGT is a liver enzyme that has traditionally been measured to detect liver health and function and alcohol consumption. GGT is a very sensitive measure than can change very quickly compared to other biochemical markers. In recent years, elevated GGT measurements have proved to be effective early warning signs of other health risks such as atherosclerosis, stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and cancer.
