Abstract excerpt
Using a specific RIA, we have investigated in patients and volunteers whether fasting, diminished hepatic clearance, hemoconcentration, or within-day biological variation might be responsible for the transient increases in plasma glutathione S-transferase (GST) concentration observed after anesthesia. GST concentration was measured in 44 healthy volunteers after an overnight fast and at 3, 6, and 24 h after the...
