A microfluorometric adaptation of the method of D. E. Paglia and W. N. Valentine has been made which can assay glutathione peroxidase activity in less than 100 pg of tissue. As in the original method, the oxidized glutathione produced in the reaction is coupled to the oxidation of NADPH by glutathio

A fluorometric method for the assay of cholesterol reductase activity from pea leaves (Pisum sativum) is presented. This method is based on the decrease in relative fluorescence occurring as a result of the oxidation of NADH when cholesterol is reduced catalytically to coprostanol by cholesterol red
The assay for catalase is based on the peroxidatic activity of the enzyme. The glutathione peroxidase and reductase assays measure the consumption of NADPH following the reduction of t-butyl hydroperoxide and oxidized glutathione, respectively. The assay for superoxide dismutase is based on the redu
Phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ) is an enzyme that cleaves fatty acids from the sn-2 position of membrane phospholipids. Intracellular PLA 2 has been shown to be important for the generation of arachidonic acid, which leads to the synthesis of a wide range of eicosanoid paracrine hormones. Furthermore, se
