Potential impact of the joint association of total bilirubin and gamma-glutamyltransferase with metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by the clustering of different metabolic abnormalities. Total bilirubin and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels have been reported to be associated with this condition. However, the extent to which the interaction between these parameters affects metabolic syndrome is unknown. Therefore, we examined the association of total bilirubin and GGT levels with metabolic syndrome, and investigated the combined...
