Human erythrocyte catalase was assayed by the Sinha method (1972), which is simple and easy in comparison with the methods usually employed. The method was reproducible. However, using this assay method, the hemoglobin content in lysate samples should be adjusted to uniform concentrations. Nomral activity levels of erythrocyte catalase were determined for 122 normal healthy Japanese adults -69 males and 53 females. The mean±standard deviation was 7.90±1.33 (K(0)/gHb/dl), and the distribution was nearly normal. There was no significant difference with regard to sex. The results indicate that this assay can provide a source of important and basic data in clinical examinations.
