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.
Pancreas and insulin. Your pancreas is one of the organs of your digestive system. It lies in your abdomen, behind your stomach. It is a long thin structure with 2 main functions: 1  producing digestive enzymes to break down food; and. 2  producing the hormones insulin and glucagon to control sugar levels in your body.roduction of digestive enzymes. The pancreas produces secretions necessary for you to digest food. The enzymes in these secretions allow your body to digest protein, fat and starch from your food. The enzymes are produced in the acinar cells which make up most of the pancreas.
