Abstract
Serum oxidant activity (AOA) was correlated with the serum caeruloplasmin and serum copper concentration and with the total and available serum iron-binding capacity in 313 normal and abnormal subjects. In all groups except in patients with Wilson's disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) there was a highly significant direct correlation between serum AOA and serum caeruloplasmin concentration. A statistically significant direct correlation between serum AOA and the available iron-binding capacity of serum was found only in normal subjects and in children with thalassemia major and iron overload. There was no correlation between serum AOA and the serum tocopherol concentration in any of the groups studied.
