It was established that in blood of patients with ischemic heart disease due to atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries (the diagnosis was verified in selective coronaroangiography) the content of acylhydroperoxides grows while the activity of glutathione-peroxidase II decreases. In blood of patients with no damage to the coronary vessels (according to the results of angiography), glutathione-peroxidase II activity does not differ significantly from the values in the control group. The decrease of glutathione-peroxidase II activity was most marked in patients with ischemic heart disease and hypercholesterolemia. It is suggested that the increase in the peroxide content in blood of patients with ischemic heart disease may be due to the sharp decrease in the activity of glutathione-peroxidase II.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.
