Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (G.G.T) in leprosy.

Activity of the enzyme gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) was measured in 21 patients of BL or LL disease and 10 age matched healthy controls. None of the patients had any systemic or hepatic diseases. Mean values in the patients (53.67 +/- 9.67 U/L) were significantly higher (p less than 0.05) compared to that of controls (34.2 +/- 5.69 U/L).
