Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX-1) has an important role in antioxidant defense and has been suggested to have a protective role against the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In the present study, erythrocytic GPX-1 activity from 42 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 285 healthy control subjects of Taiwanese origin were determined. Our data showed that mean GPX-1 activity decreased in patients with acute myocardial infarction (40.7 +/- 9.2 vs 47.3 +/- 16.6 U/g hemoglobin; p
