Selenium-dependent and selenium-non-dependent glutathione peroxidase in patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy.
1998
: We studied the activity of erythrocyte selenium (Se)-dependent, Se-non-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in uremic patients (UP) in clinically healthy members from families affected with Balkan nephropathy (HMF/BEN) and in healthy volunteers from endemic settlements (control group). The SOD activity was not significantly different in the groups studied and the Se-non-dependent GSH-Px activity in HMF/BEN and UP was not different from the control group. However, the activity of Se-dependent GSH-Px in UP was lower compared with the control group, whereas the mean value of the Se-dependent GSH-Px activity in HMF/BEN was not significantly different when compared with the other two investigated groups.
