CAT and autism: BPA and activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes; glutathione peroxidase (GPx1), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione reductase (GR), and levels of erythrocyte antioxidant (GSH) and erythrocyte selenium (Se; co-factor in some antioxidant enzymes), as well as plasma TBARS (no separation step used) and plasma carbonyl levels, were measured in autistic children (classic autism (n = 27) and pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) (n = 10)) vs. controls (n = 35).
