Abstract
Normal ranges for gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) in chimpanzees were determined and categorized according to age and sex. Enzyme patterns presented for 36 cases of non‐A, non‐B (NANB) hepatitis and compared to others with hepatitis A and/or B show that the response of this enzyme to these viral agents in chimpanzees is comparable to that seen in human patients. The value of GGT determinations, in addition to aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase for the differentiation of various types of viral hepatitis, is described.Keywords
