The difference in glutathione peroxidase activity on arteries of a bi-ethnic population: the SABPA study

Background and objectives: From the literature it is evident that increased oxidative stress is integral in the development of cardiovascular disease. We therefore aimed to compare glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) activity between black and white Africans, and to investigate whether the activity of these enzymes are linked with cardiovascular function.
