A Longitudinal Increase in Serum Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Levels, but Not in Alanine Aminotransferase Levels, Improves the Prediction of Risk of Impaired Fasting Glucose in Male
We revealed that a longitudinal increase in serum GGT levels was related to an increased risk of IFG in males. Therefore, monitoring the changes in serum GGT levels is important for predicting new-onset IFG, and it can be used as an early indicator of onset of overt diabetes in males.
