Diagnostic Uses
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.
Four of the eight glutathione peroxidases (GPx) are selenoproteins (containing the amino acid form of selenium, Sec) in humans, however, GPx6 is cysteine-containing in rodents, but a selenoprotein in humans, whereas the remaining GPx’s are cysteine containing. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is emerging as one of the most important seleoproteins in mammals and is one of the key regulators of ferroptosis, a form of regulated necrotic cell death 2.
GPx displays an inverse correlation with free radicals and consequently oxidative stress (OS). When GPx activity is reduced, antioxidant protection is impaired, resulting in oxidative damage to the membrane fatty acids and functional proteins, resulting in neurotoxic damage. Decreased GPx activity and OS is implicated in the incidence and progression of several health problems, including: cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders and other chronic conditions 3.

The Randox Lp(a) assay is calibrated in nmol/l and traceable to the WHO/IFCC reference material (IFCC SRM 2B) and provides an acceptable bias compared with the Northwest Lipid Metabolism Diabetes Research Laboratory (NLMDRKL) gold standard. A five-point calibrator with accuracy-based assigned target values (in nmol/l) is available, accurately reflecting the heterogeneity of the apo(a) isoforms.
The Randox bile acids test utilises an advanced enzyme cycling method which displays outstanding sensitivity and precision when compared to traditional enzymatic based tests. The Randox 5th Generation Bile Acids test is particularly useful in paediatrics where traditional bile acids tests are affected by haemolytic and lipaemic samples.
A superior assay from Randox, the vanadate oxidation method offers several advantages over the diazo method, including less interference by haemolysis and lipaemia, which is particularly evident for infant and neonatal populations.
The Randox Fructosamine assay utilises the enzymatic method which offers improved specificity and reliability compared to conventional NBT-based methods. The Randox enzymatic method does not suffer from non-specific interferences unlike other commercially available fructosamine assays.
Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is a marker of iron status. In iron deficiency anaemia, sTfR levels are significantly increased, however remain normal in the anaemia of inflammation. Consequently, sTfR measurement is useful in the differential diagnosis of microcytic anaemia.
