title: ELISA for in vivo assessment of nonenzymatically glycated platelet glutathione peroxidase.
abstract: Using a combination of boronate affinity chromatography and ELISA methodology, a simple procedure was devised to selectively determine the in vivo glycated state of the platelet glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) from normal and diabetic subjects. The mean total GSH-Px levels in the normal (n = 14) and diabetic (n = 18) platelets were 1167 +/- 97 and 1007 +/- 73 ng/mg protein, respectively. The mean percentage glycated GSH-Px in the normal and diabetic platelets were 5.79 +/- 0.72% and 11.68 +/- 0.95%, respectively. When the percentage glycated GSH-Px was compared with the fructosamine values, a correlation coefficient of 0.71 was obtained. This indicates that the glycation status of platelet GSH-Px can be utilized as a sensitive, short-term index of plasma glucose levels.
