Red blood cells are frequently employed in studies of oxidative stress. Technical difficulties
have previously prevented the measurement of H 2 O 2 production by red blood cells …

Red cells from mice deficient in glutathione peroxidase-1 were used to estimate the
hemoglobin autoxidation rate and the endogenous level of H2O2 and superoxide …

Red blood cells (RBC) are considered as a circulating sink of H 2 O 2, but a significant
debate remains over the role of the different intraerythocyte peroxidases. Herein we …

Cells have a wide range of capacities to remove extracellular hydrogen peroxide. At higher
concentrations of extracellular H 2 O 2 (micromolar) the rate of removal can be …

To investigate the relative importance of catalase and glutathione in erythrocyte oxidant
defense, human and mouse (normal and acatalasemic) erythrocytes were reversibly lysed …

Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at physiological levels was studied in human
erythrocytes by means of a recently developed sensitive H2O2 assay. The exponential …

The concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in blood and plasma is a measurement
that has often been made, but the absolute values remain unsettled due the great variability …

The catalase within normal, intact human erythrocytes was completely inactivated with
amino triazole. The rate of 14CO2 evolution, when the cells were subsequently incubated …

The ability of intact human red cells to scavenge extracellularly generated H2O2 and O2-,
and to prevent formation of hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid has been examined …

The correlation between the oxidative processes in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP)-exposed
red blood cells and the reactions of oxygen consumption and release were investigated …
