| Abstract | ||
| This project aims to study some of liver function represented by the enzymes GOT and GPT in smokers and non-smokers in a group consists of 25 smokers and 25 non-smokers in different ages, and to study the effectiveness of cigarette smoking on liver enzymes and liver functions by checking the secretion of the liver enzymes GOT and GPT and their levels in the serum. The study shows that heavy cigarette smoking was significantly associated with increased levels glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, or GOT (23 -48) mg/dl and glutamate pyruvate transaminase, or GPT (44-54) mg/dl (P < 0.0001) compared with non- smokers who had normal value for the above parameters. | ||
