AJG Hanley, K Williams, A Festa, LE Wagenknecht, RB … - Diabetes, 2004 - Am Diabetes Assoc A limited number of studies have reported associations of markers of liver injury, including elevated
concentrations of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), with
prospective risk of type 2 diabetes. However, only one study has adjusted for a detailed ... Cited by 107 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 9 versions

(1,2). It is known, however, that GGT levels rise, inde- pendently of alcohol consumption, with
