Özet

Katalaz (CAT, EC 1. 11.1.6), hidrojen peroksitin suya dönüşümünü katalizleyen antioksidan bir enzimdir. Dokulardaki katalaz aktivitesi büyük oranda değişiklik gösterir. Enzim _insan eritrositleri katalaz bakımından zengindir.

Abstract

Catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyses the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and 1/2 O2. The catalase shows various catalitic activity in different tissues. The enzyme activity is higher in liver and kidney and the lower in connective tissues. Human erythrocytes are rich in ctyse. _----attended to different clinics for different complaints. We have also divided the subjects into smoker (n=88) and nonsmoker groups (n=386) in order to ***?smoking may affect the enzyme activity or not in erythrocytes. Enzyme activity was determined according to the method of Aebi. Activity was expressed in rate constant per gram hemoglobin (k/grHb). Besides CAT activity; RBC, MCV, MCHC, MCH and HCT values were also obtained from Coulter autosampler. In order to determine CAT activity in different age groups, subjects were divided into to four groups as follows: Group 1: ages between 0-20 (n=28), Group 2: ages between 21-40 (n=192). Group 3: ages between 41- 60 (n-172). Group 4: ages between 61-80 (n=83) Erythrocyte CAT activities of these groups were found to be 2981 ± 962 k/gHb, 3039 ± 923 k/gHb, 3086±797 k/gHb and 3266 ±13 k/gHb, respectively. Although differences of the mean activities between the groups were not statistically significant, CAT activities were increased by age. There is no effect of smoking on CAT activity in erytrocytes. Theseen, smokers have higher CAT activity than nonsmokers, but it was not statistically significant.
