Folate Deficiency Was Associated with Increased Alanine Aminotransferase and Glutamyl Transpeptidase Concentrations in a Chinese Hypertensive Population: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Abstract excerpt

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) were three key enzymes in the hepatic metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the effect of homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism gene polymorphisms and serum Hcy and folate level on the hepatic functions in a Chinese hypertensive population. A representative sample with 480 subjects aged 28-75 was enrolled in...
