Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated by bodily cells via mitochondrial and enzymatic sources. It is vital that GPx levels are reviewed as it can cause oxidative damage to membrane lipids, proteins and DNA. GPx is an intracellular antioxidant enzyme that enzymatically converts hydrogen peroxide to water (detoxification). Hydrogen peroxidase is vital for the maintenance of normal thiol redox-balance, mitochondrial function, and growth factor-mediated signal transduction. By converting hydrogen peroxidase to water, GPx aids in modulating these processes 1. GPx also contributes to cell signalling and oxidative protein folding 2.
