Both gamma-glutamyltransferase (gammaGT) and pseudocholinesterase (PCE) were found to be increased in hypertriglyceridemic subjects. High values of gammaGT were noted in alcoholic subjects and especially in those with either increased serum triglyceride or alanine aminotransferase higher than 16 mU/ml, while PCE was not significantly changed in alcoholic subjects. Although both enzymes were strongly correlated with the logarithm of serum triglyceride and the prebeta electrophoretic fraction, there were striking differences concerning their behavior in various hypertriglyceridemic subjects. PCE activity was high even in moderate hypertriglyceridemias but its correlation with serum triglyceride had a tendency to flatten with increasing concentration of triglyceride. However, increase of gammaGT was rather characteristic for gross hypetriglyceridemia. Short-term, triglyceride-lowering therapy was accompanied by a tendency to normalization of gammaGT, while PCE values were not influenced. An attempt was made to interpret these changes of serum-enzyme activity in hypertriglyceridemia in connection with mechanisms of lipoprotein synthesis and with the pathogeny of hyperlipemic conditions.
