Abcam's Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab102530) is an assay where glutathione peroxidase (GPx) reduces the probe Cumene Hydroperoxide while oxidizing GSH to GSSG.The generated GSSG is reduced to GSH with consumption of NADPH by glutathione reductase (GR).he assay can be used to measure all of the glutathione dependent peroxidases in plasma, erythrocyte lysates, tissue homogenates, and cell lysates with a detection sensitivity of ~ 0.5 mU/ml of GPx in samples.

These enzymes increase the level of digestion in the stomach, increasing the amount of food broken down. Therefore, less undigested food is passed into the colon, and food nutrients are more available for absorption.igestive Enzymes. No matter what specific foods we eat, our diets are composed of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Digestive enzymes break down protein, carbohydrates and fats into progressively smaller components. Enzyme supplements normally contain amylase, protease and lipase.
Enzymes and digestion. The enzymes involved in respiration, photosynthesis and protein synthesis work inside cells. Other enzymes are produced by specialised cells and released from them; the digestive enzymes are like this. They pass out into the gut, where they catalyse the breakdown of food molecules.verall, this means that: 1  Amylase catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars in the mouth and small intestine. 2  Proteases catalyse the breakdown of proteins into amino acids in the stomach and small intestine. 3  Lipases catalyse the breakdown of fats and oils into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine.
