Glutathione peroxidase activity in various types of blood cells in multiple sclerosis

Previous studies demonstrated a significantly lower mean activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) in erythrocytes of patients with multiple sclerosis than in control groups of normal subjects or patients with various neurological disorders. The present investigation has demonstrated that, in contradistinction to erythrocytes, a normal activity of GSH‐Px is found in lymphocytes, granulocytes and platelets of multiple sclerosis patients. These results were obtained both with hydrogen peroxide, which serves as a specific substrate for selenium dependent GSH‐Px, and t‐butyl hydroperoxide which reacts both with selenium dependent and independent GSH‐Px.
