Gamma GT is a marker for liver health, and historically it has been associated with liver disease due to alchool consumption. However, it is also useful as a more general marker for metabolic health as indicated in this study. It appears that it is a useful as an early marker for disease. Various studies have also shown that it is a useful marker for showing insulin resistance and other metabolic disease.

We review literature both from the medical sciences and from life insurance industries demonstrating that serum GGT is a superior marker for future disease risk, when compared against multiple othe...
Last night was pouring with rain. I ran with my new head torch http://www.ayup-lights.com/products/78/ and shoes http://www.inov-8.com/New/UK/Product-View-Mudclaw-333.html?L=26 .

I put it down mostly to being able to see well, combined with sure footing. I have a new aim for January 2012 which is: To beat my best day time at night on my two standard runs that take me over Kerridge Ridge. For the one I've been doing in the dark mostly I'll need to find another 3 minutes or so, but I reckon this will be easy enough if I don't have to wear my rain coat. The other run which goes the other way round the ridge will be more challenging.
