ABSTRAKT
An analytical method for determining glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (EC 1.11.1.9) activity in whole blood has been adapted to human milk samples. The values obtained for precision (relative standard deviation: 8.4%), linearity and accuracy (recovery: 90.4%) indicate the adequacy of the method for the mentioned purpose. The method was applied to 11 human milk samples obtained in the range from 6 to 135 days post partum. The resulting GPx activities (83.3 +/- 23.6 U/L) did not correlate to the selenium content of the samples, though a reciprocal correlation was found between the duration of lactation and milk GPx activity.
