Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase protein and activity: immunological investigations on cellular and plasma enzymes.
Selenium-deficient humans and animals are known to be deficient in glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity in their cells and plasma. To determine the relationship between enzyme activity and protein content, the enzyme was purified from human erythrocytes, and polyclonal antibodies were made against the purified protein in rabbits. These antibodies were found to be monospecific, noninhibitory,...
متن کاملAntihuman plasma glutathione peroxidase antibodies: immunologic investigations to determine plasma glutathione peroxidase protein and selenium content in plasma.
Plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) (glutathione: H2O2 oxidoreductase) is a unique selenoglycoprotein. Treatment of this enzyme with glycopeptidase F partially deglycosylates it and establishes the presence of N-linked sugar moieties. Antibodies raised in a rabbit against the purified enzyme from plasma were found to be specific, noninhibitory, and capable of precipitating the enzymatic activ...
متن کاملSelenium supplementation of Chinese women with habitually low selenium intake increases plasma selenium, plasma glutathione peroxidase activity, and milk selenium, but not milk glutathione peroxidase activity.
Twenty-one pregnant women living in Xichang County, China, a selenium-deficient area, were divided into two groups and given either a placebo (n = 10) as yeast or selenium-enriched yeast tablets (n = 11) to provide 100 microg selenium per day. This supplementation was begun the last trimester of pregnancy and continued for 3 months after parturition. Plasma selenium levels and glutathione perox...
متن کاملBlood selenium concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activity.
Selenium concentrations in children and teenagers without a metabolic disorder eating normal diets (group 1), and young patients with classical phenylketonuria and milder forms of hyperphenylalaninaemia being treated with a diet low in natural protein (group 2) were investigated. There was a strong correlation between blood selenium concentration and age in children in group 1 up to 10 years of...
متن کاملplasma selenium concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity in breast cancer patients before and after chemotherapy
abstract background: the chemotherapeutic agents used for treatment of breast cancer are all shown to increase free oxygen radicals and generation of reactive oxygen species. the aim of this study was to evaluate effect of chemotherapy on plasma selenium (se) concentration and glutathione peroxidase (gpx) activity in breast cancer patients. materials and methods: seventeen women in stage ii and...
