METHOD FOR ANALYZING COMPONENTS

摘要

This invention relates to a method for quantitatively determining components, which comprises converting NAD(P)H existing in a sample or being produced from components other than the intended component by a reaction to NA(D)P with oxidized type glutathione and glutathione reductase, decomposing remaining oxidized type glutathione by the action of gamma -glutamyltranspeptidase in the presence or absence of a mercapto compound, and determining the intended component by utilizing the reaction of producing NAD(P)H. This method enables the amylase activity or the like of a component of a living body containing maltose or glucose to be determined accurately.
