Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for quantitative determination of NAD(P)H derived from a specific component, which comprises converting NAD(P)H present in a sample or formed from components other than the objective component by reactions into NAD(P) by the action of glutathione of oxidation type and glutathione reductase; decomposing the remaining glutathione of oxidation type by the action of .gamma.-glutamyl transpeptidase in the presence or in the absence of a mercapto compound; forming NAD(P)H from the component to be determined in the sample utilizing an NAD(P)H-forming reaction system; and quantitatively determining NAD(P)H. According to the method of the present invention, amylase activity, etc. in vital components containing maltose and glucose can be determined accurately.
