gamma-Glutamyltransferase activity is unchanged in acutely quinolinate-lesioned rat neostriatum but is elevated in Huntington's disease caudate.

gamma-Glutamyltransferase ( GGT; gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase) was measured in the neostriata of rats 5-7 days after local injections of 0-150 nmol of quinolinic acid. In contrast to the high levels seen in studies on the caudate in a few Huntington's disease cases, GGT activity showed no significant relation to the amount of quinolinic acid injected or to the extent of neuronal loss, as indicated by assays of choline acetyltransferase and glutamate decarboxylase on the same striatal homogenates. The chronicity of the degenerative disease, contrasted with the acuteness of the lesion, may explain the difference.[1]
