[Levels of erythrocyte glutathione and ceruloplasmin and transferrin in the serum and their role in antioxidant protection].
All organisms are protected from harmful reactive oxygen which is produced also under physiological conditions by a complex antioxidative system. Our work was aimed at the ascertainment of the level of reduced and oxidated glutathione in erythrocytes of healthy people, the concentrations of ceruloplasmin (GSH) and transferrin (GSSG) in the serum, as well as the investigation of the relationship to antioxidative enzymes ---Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and Se-glutathione-peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocytes. We discovered a mutual direct linear correlation between the levels of GSH, GSSG, CPL and TRF, indirect linear relation between the concentrations of TRF, GSH, GSSG and activities of SOD and GPx, between the concentrations of CPL and GPx activities, and a direct linear relation between concentrations of GSH and TRF with CAT activity. The results indicate to a mutual dependence of investigated nonenzymatic antioxidative factors and antioxidative enzymes. (Tab2, Fig. 4, Ref.13.).
