Abstract

Both of these enzyme activities have been studied extensively in recent years in rat liver homogenates and subcellular fractions [l-6]. In addition to Hz 02, several organic hydroperoxides were reported as active substrates for rat liver glutathione peroxidase [2]; some of these, e.g. t-butyl hydroperoxide or cumene hydroperoxide, do not react with catalase, and the corresponding alcohols do not react with alcohol dehydrogenase. Therefore, a selective transition in the 2GSH/GSSG redox system is effected in intact liver cells by these substrates.
