what does peroxidase do
A peroxidase is one of a number of enzymes that act as catalysts to allow a variety of biological processes to take place. Specifically, they promote the oxidation of various compounds using naturally occurring peroxides, especially hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), which are reduced, forming water.n fact, most of the the people that receive positive results on a thyroid peroxidase test (somewhere between 70 -90%) do indeed have chronic thyroidosis, however there are a some auto-immune disorders that can cause a false positive as well.
