Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities in healthy male subjects in Republic of Macedonia.

Abstract

We established the reference values for erythrocyte SOD, GPX and CAT activity in male subjects. The large dispersion of activities of the investigated enzymes in healthy individuals does not allow to make a standard use of these parameters in clinical practise without establishing "own reference values" for each laboratory.
