serum glutathione peroxidase

Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px or GPX) is one of the important free radical scavenging enzymes in the body. Studies have shown that free radicals are closely related to tumor pathogenesis. GSH-Px not only has the function of scavenging free radicals and derivatives, but also reduces the formation of lipid peroxides and enhances the body's ability to resist oxidative damage. GSH-Px is also involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGI2) and thromboxane (TXA2), protecting the structure and function of cells. Therefore, the role of GSH-Px in cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms is receiving increasing clinical attention. Basic Information Specialist classification: cardiovascular examination classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Tips: Patients with Alzheimer's disease are reduced. Normal value 1. Enzyme rate method (37 ° C) 2.96 ~ 83 U / g · Hb. 2. Colorimetric method 127.64±12.68U/L. Clinical significance 1. One of the indicators of the body's resistance to peroxidation. 2, elevated can be seen in diabetes, sickle cell anemia, neonatal hemolysis, thalassemia. 3, reduce can be seen in Keshan disease, osteoarthrosis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic pancreatitis, burns, surgery. Low results may be diseases: thalassemia, Kashin-Beck disease, high blood hemolytic disease results may be disease: chronic pancreatitis considerations Alzheimer's disease is reduced. Inspection process Immediately after blood collection, the test method was carried out, and the detection method was determined by the enzyme speed method and the colorimetric method. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
