Hypokalemic thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in a Caucasian male with Graves' disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Elevated γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) could predict the risk of Type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the reason for their elevation was unclear. GGT and ALT mediated the metabolism of many amino acids (AA). Up to now, it was not investigated whether abnormal AA concentration was a...
