Abstract
Neutrophil glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity was studied in 30 children with nutritional iron deficiency anaemia and 25 healthy age-matched controls. Initially GSH-Px in iron deficient anaemic children was significantly (p less than 0.001) low compared to the control group. All patients were subjected to iron therapy but only 8 returned for follow-up. The GSH-Px activity in all 8 cases rose to normal levels after therapy. These results suggest a relationship between iron and GSH-Px activity.
