This research assessed the hepatic synthetic capability and anion transport in smokers. Thus, albumin and ƔGT levels were determined. Determinations were carried out on two groups of sixty subjects each. They were: active and non smokers respectively. All samples were analyzed and the data generated were subjected to statistical analysis. ƔGT was significantly higher while albumin was significantly lower. Smoking is therefore injurious to both the hepatocytes and cells of the biliary system. It could also be a contributing factor to the development of liver diseases.
