Popis: Objective To assess whether there is a reduction in serum antioxidant activity in patients who have undergone a clam enterocystoplasty procedure. Patients and methods Serum glutathione peroxidase (GPase) activity was measured in 20 patients who had undergone clam enterocystoplasty. Serum selenium concentration was also measured in 62 similar patients and compared with 56 healthy controls and 44 patients with a neuropathic bladder, mainly patients with spinal cord injuries who had not undergone surgery. Results GPase activity correlated well with serum selenium measurement. There was a significant reduction (P
