Selenium and myocardial infarction: glutathione peroxidase in platelets
Klinische Wochenschrift
|July 15, 1981
Abstract:
The activity of the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9) was determined in platelets of 15 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 13 control subjects. The platelets of the patients had significantly lower activities of the enzyme (P(t) greater than 0.99). This may be related to the pathogenesis of the disease.
