Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on the quantitative and qualitative characterization of erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase

TL;DR: Glutathione peroxidase activity is found to be associated with a relatively stable, nondialyzable, heat-labile, intracellular component which is separable from hemoglobin, by gel filtration and ammonium sulfate precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selenium: Biochemical Role as a Component of Glutathione Peroxidase

TL;DR: When hemolyzates from erythrocytes of selenium-deficient rats were incubated in vitro in the presence of ascorbate or H2O2, added glutathione failed to protect the hemoglobin from oxidative damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzymic method for quantitative determination of nanogram amounts of total and oxidized glutathione: Applications to mammalian blood and other tissues

TL;DR: The use of the foregoing analytical method in the determination of total and oxidized glutathione contents of rat blood, kidney, and liver gave values in good agreement with those obtained by previous investigators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uric acid provides an antioxidant defense in humans against oxidant- and radical-caused aging and cancer: a hypothesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that, at physiological concentrations, urate reduces the oxo-heme oxidant formed by peroxide reaction with hemoglobin, protects erythrocyte ghosts against lipid peroxidation, and protects ERYthrocytes from peroxidative damage leading to lysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of dietary selenium on erythrocyte and liver glutathione peroxidase in the rat

TL;DR: The results suggest that tissue GSH-Px can be used as an indicator of animal Se status, but other factors such as age, sex, and dietary vitamin E may have to be considered.
