Are serum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase and Ferritin Related to Insulin Resistance : A Population-Based Study?
Insulin resistance is associated with elevated serum GGT and ferritin. A combined determination of GGT and ferritin might lead to better predictions in patients with insulin resistance.
The expression of PRX3, PRX6 and HSP70-1b during the first 30min of WI may be critical in measuring cellular responses. This is the first large animal model to describe the novel candidate biomarker, structural protein A2HSG. A2HSG upregulation during WI alone in this study is encouraging and further assessment in a DCD auto-transplant model is warranted.
