title: Serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and glutamic dehydrogenase levels in favism.
abstract: Serum GOT, GPT, gamma-GT and GLDH were determined in 15 G-6-PD-deficient subjects during a hemolytic crisis and hemoglobinuria due to ingestion of fresh fava beans. The same G-6-PD-deficient subjects were studied again 2 months after the crisis, when they were asymptomatic. 15 normal healthy children served as controls. A statistically significant increase, above normal, in serum GOT, GLDH and gamma-GT was observed in the favic subjects during the crisis. All the values reverted to normal in the asymptomatic period.
