In preparations of Wistar rat myocardium, Km values of GSH-Px to the substrates, H2O2 and GSH, as determined by the DTNB method, were 1.9 x 10(-4) mol/L and 2.0 x 10(-3) mol/L respectively. The Km value of GSSG-R to GSSG was 6.0 x 10(-5) mol/L by UV spectrophotometric assay. In vitro, the activity o

## Abstract Spatial and temporal expression and regulation of the antioxidant enzymes, glutathione peroxidase (GSHβPx), glutathione disulfide reductase (GSSGβRd) may be important in determining cellβspecific susceptibility to embryotoxicants. Creation of tissueβspecific ontogenies for antioxidant e
This paper extends the previous study for systems which control intracellular oxidative events in muscle and describes procedures suitable to assay glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and total glutathione (GSH + GSSG) after fiber typing of individual muscle fibers. In human
A procedure to quantitate picomole amounts of hydroperoxides based on GSSG formation is described. Hydroperoxides are incubated with GSH and glutathione peroxidase, and the GSSG formed is measured by a GSSG-specific glutathione reductase recycling assay. Prior to analysis the remaining GSH is remove
