Species difference in plasma antioxidant activity.
1. Plasma antioxidant activity was determined in rats, guinea pigs, rabbits and humans. 2. Low levels of antioxidant activity were observed in rats and guinea pigs. Both species showed high susceptibility to lipid peroxidation in red blood cells. 3. In rabbit and human plasma antioxidant activity was high. In these species, susceptibility to lipid peroxidation was low.
