Glutathione S-transferase activity has been measured in erythrocytes from 101 subjects. Specific activity in the female subjects was significantly greater than that in the males, but there was no relationship in either sex between enzyme activity and age or between enzyme activity and the most common erythrocyte antigens. Separation of erythrocytes by age using isopycnic centrifugation showed that enzyme activity was constant during the life of the cell.
