| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Elevated serum hepatic enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), even within the reference range, were independently and proportionally associated with increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome, especially in alcohol abstainers, in Japanese men and women aged 15-76 years. In another Japanese male population aged 35-69 years, elevated serum hepatic enzymes were also proportionally associated with increased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)(nearly equal to decrease in arterial elasticity), as an index of arterial stiffness, after adjusting for the classical atherosclerotic risk factors. Further analyses revealed that the interaction effect between serum GGT level and alcohol intake status on baPWV was significant. This finding suggests that the association of elevated serum GGT level with arterial stiffness differs according to alcohol intake status in men.
