Gamma-Glutamyltransferase- Is it a Biomarker of oxidative stress?
Gamma- glutamyltransferase (GGT) is known to be involved in the oxidation process of LDL and active GGT has been observed in atherosclerotic plaques. Prospective studies have also recently shown that plasma GGT levels may be correlated with cardiovascular disease, however the mechanism remains …

Wheat Take-All: Quantification of Resistance and Pseudomonad Suppression and the Potential for Their Interaction
… developed to study the dynamic colonization of Ggt-infected roots by both antagonistic and non-antagonistic bacteria. Pseudomonas fluorescens (strain 2-79), as antagonist of Ggt and Bacillus megaterium (strain B153-2-2), a non-antagonist, were used to determine if wheat roots, infected by Ggt, …

Evaluation of Agents for the Suppression of Take-all of Wheat in Virginia in Greenhouse and Field Studies, and Characterization of Isolates of Gaeumannomyces graminis varieties
… caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt ) is a problem wherever wheat is grown. Crop rotation is currently the only method for control. Our objectives were to develop a greenhouse bioassay and to evaluate the efficacy of mineral, chemical, and or biological agents for control, test …

Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase and the risk of type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort study of older Mexican Americans
… was to test the hypothesis that increased GGT predicts an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in elderly Mexican Americans.</p> <p>Data from a population-based cohort study of 1789 community-dwelling Mexican American men and women, aged 60-101, in the SALSA study were used. Data for …

Narcissism and Binge Drinking: Exploring the Role of Overconfidence and Confidence-Based Risk-Taking.
… assessed via the Georgia Gambling Task (GGT), explained why they did so. The results generally supported my hypotheses. As expected, narcissism related to poor GGT performance and high levels of BD; likewise, poor GGT performance related to BD. GGT performance accounted for (i.e., …

Studies of tumor promoters and drug-metabolic enzymes in hamster buccal pouch mucosa
… in the model. Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and placentalglutathione S-transferase (GST-P) have been found to be increased during HBPM carcinogenesis. Whether such increases are oncofetal remains to be answered. There are few studies on the normal distribution of GGT and GST-P in hamster …

APPROACHES OF MODULATION OF THERAPEUTIC TARGETS RELEVANT TO DRUG RESISTANCE
… used alone. Another new therapeutic target is GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase), the interest in this enzyme is related to recent evidence supporting that it is implicated in tumor progression and in drug resistance to stress-inducing agents (i.e. platinum compounds). The extracellular …

Genetische Prädisposition der intrahepatischen Schwangerschaftscholestase : Mutationsanalyse des Phospholipidtransporters ABCB4 und der Gallensäurenexportpumpe ABCB11
… patients with high gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), heterozygous mutations in the ABCB4 gene encoding the hepatic canalicular phospholipid transport protein MDR3 play a role in pathogenesis. Mutations in the ABCB11 encoding the bile salt export pump BSEP may as well predispose for ICP. In 28 …

Take-all in Wheat: PCR Identification of the Pathogen and the Interactions Amongst Potential Biological Control Agents
<i>Gaeumannomyces graminis var. triciti (Ggt)</i>, the causal agent of take-all in wheat, is difficult to detect accurately and rapidly due to its similarity to fungi in the Gaeumannomyces-Phialophora complex. My objectives are to detect the fungus in infested plants and soil, and to predict …
