Relationships between melatonin, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and catalase. Endogenous rhythms on cerebral cortex in Gallus domesticus.
In this report, we studied the endogenous rhythms of three antioxidant enzymes: glutathione peroxidase (E.C.1.11.1.9), glutathione reductase (E.C.1.6.4.2) and catalase (E.C.1.11.1.6) in cortex of chick brain and correlate them with physiological blood melatonin concentrations.
