Elevated Glutamyl Transferase Linked To Breast Cancer Risk by Aaron Tabor Medical Doctor

Posted Mon 28 Jun 2010 8:00am Gamma-glutamyl transferase is an enzyme produced in several organs, though mainly in the liver, and is probably best known as a marker for alcohol abuse. However, gamma-glutamyl transferase can be elevated due to other conditions as well. Recent research suggests that gamma-glutamyl transferase can be elevated after the exposure to possible ca ...
