摘要
The ferroxidase activity of ceruloplasmin is often determined according to the method of Johnson et al. (1967), using apotransferrin for trapping ferric ions generated by the enzyme; spectrophotometrically monitoring the Fe–transferrin formation at pH6.0. Reports have shown that ascorbate inhibits this reaction, and it is hypothesized that the effect could be of physiological significance in individuals with a high ascorbate to ceruloplasmin ratio in plasma (e.g. premature babies).
