The effects of hyperthyroidism on lipid peroxidation, erythrocyte glutathione and glutathione peroxidase [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2011 The aim of this study was to determine if lipid per o xidation, glutathione, and glutathione peroxidase levels can be effected by hyperthyroidism. Twenty-three subjects with hyper thy roidism (18 females/5 males), and 19 euthyroid subjects (11 females/8 ...

Metabolism of hydroperoxy-phospholipids in human hepatoma HepG2 cells
Journal of Lipid Research, 1996 Two enzymatic mechanisms have been proposed for the metabolism of hydroperoxy-phospholipids: i) the combined action of phospholipase A2 and glutathione peroxidase, and/or ii) direct enzymatic reduction.

Prognostic significance of glutathione peroxidase 2 in gastric carcinoma
Tumor Biology, 2017 Increasing evidence suggests that the glutathione peroxidase 2 may actually play important roles in tumorigenesis and progression in various human cancers such as colorectal carcinomas and lung adenocarcinomas. However, the role of glutathione peroxidase
