Comparison of serum uric acid and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) level in obese individuals and non-obese individual

Obesity is usually accompanied by excess presence of adipose tissue in the body which could cause excess xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) production. Uric acid levels can increase with an excess of XOR production. Increased body fat also promotes fat deposition in the liver. Excess fat deposition induc...
