Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and reduced glutathione (GSH) content in erythrocytes (RBC) of uremic patients on chronic dialysis were determined. Specific SOD activity and GSH content were found lower in RBC from uremic patients before hemodialysis compared to normal RBC; after hemodialysis, the specific activity of SOD and GSH content were significantly increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
