GGT

• Serum marker for alcohol-related liver disease
• Linked to increased risk to a multitude of diseases and conditions
• Cardiovascular disease,
• Diabetes,
• Metabolic syndrome (MetS),
• All-cause mortality
• Strong predictive power for GGT, even across different gender and ethnic categories
• Relationship of GGT to other serum markers such as serum ferritin (SF) levels
• Link to exposure to environmental and endogenous toxins
• Oxidative and nitrosative stress
• General upward trend in population levels of GGT over time
• Particularly in the US and Korea
• Since the late 1970s
• Both GGT and incident MetS and its related disorders have risen in virtual lockstep
• GGT is an early predictive marker for
• Atherosclerosis,
• Heart failure,
• Arterial stiffness and plaque
• Gestational diabetes
• Various liver diseases
• Viral hepatitis
• Other infectious diseases
• Several life-threatening cancers
• Serum GGT is a superior marker for future disease risk
• Compared against multiple other known mortality risk factors.
• Glyphosate along with POPs
• Plethora of other possibilities
