Abstract

An analytical method for determining glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (EC 1.11.1.9) activity in whole blood has been adapted to human milk samples. The values obtained for precision (relative standard deviation: 8.4%), linearity and accuracy (recovery: 90.4%) indicate the adequacy of the method for the mentioned purpose. The method was applied to 11 human milk samples obtained in the range from 6 to 135 days post partum. The resulting GPx activities (83.3 ± 23.6 U/L) did not correlate to the selenium content of the samples, though a reciprocal correlation was found between the duration of lactation and milk GPx activity.

The method proposed for measuring glutathione peroxydase (GSH-Px) activity is based on the determination of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) using o-phtalaldehyde (OPT) as a fluorescent reagent. This method makes it possible to study the kinetics of both substrates (peroxide and reduced ghrtathione, GSH)

## Abstract In order to generate catalytic antibodies with glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity, we prepared GSH‐S‐2,4‐dinitrophenyl __t__‐butyl ester (GSH‐S‐DNPBu) as target antigen. Three clones (A11, B3, and D5) that bound specifically to the antigen were selected from the phage display antibod
