changes in serum enzymes in moderate drinkers after an alcohol challenge. | when 14 "moderate" drinkers abstained from alcohol for four weeks, the activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase (ggt; ec 2.3.2.2) in their serum showed a large decrease. immediately after the period of abstention, an orally given ethanol challenge of 1 g/kg produced a marked increase in serum ggt at 24 h, followed by a slow decline thereafter. aspartate amino-transferase activity in serum was significantly increased at 24 h; however, alkaline phosphate, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydro ... | 2010 | 2894905 |
