Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of hydrogen peroxide promoted by homocysteine and inherited catalase deficiency on human hypocatalasemic patients.
László Góth,Márta Vitai +1 more
TL;DR: The patients with inherited catalase deficiency are more sensitive to oxidative stress of hydrogen peroxide than the normocatalasemic family members and this oxidative stress might be responsible for the decreased concentration of the blood hemoglobin via the oxidation sensitive folate and may contribute to the early development of arteriosclerosis and diabetes in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference ranges of normal blood catalase activity and levels in familial hypocatalasemia in Hungary
Márta Vitai,László Góth +1 more
TL;DR: The electrophoretic mobilities of catalase in erythrocytes of hypocatalasemic patients were indistinguishable from that of healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of a novel familial catalase mutation (Hungarian type D) and the possible risk of inherited catalase deficiency for diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: This inherited catalase deficiency, by inducing an increased hydrogen peroxide steady‐state concentration in vivo, may be involved in the early manifestation of type 2 diabetes mellitus for the 35‐year old proband.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphism of 5′ of the catalase gene in Hungarian acatalasemia and hypocatalasemia
László Góth,Márta Vitai +1 more
TL;DR: The amplified fragment length polymorphism of Hinfl on the promoter region of the catalase gene in Hungarian acatalasemic and hypocatalasemia patients yielded three different patterns with five bands in total, two extra bands in the Hinfl pattern are due to star‐like activity that cleaved a G/ATTT sequence at position −4 to 0 upstream of the initiation site.
