Reduced glutathione (GSH) and activities of several glutathione-related enzymes were measured in two 9L rat brain tumor cell lines with differing sensitivities to both 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) and nitrogen mustard. GSH, measured by a specific high-performance liquid chromatographic method, was found to be approximately twice as high in 9L cells sensitive to BCNU but resistant...

We developed a LC-MS-MS assay of the (2)H labeling of free glutathione (GSH) and bound glutathione [GSSR; which includes all DTT-reducible forms, primarily glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and mixed disulfides with proteins] and ophthalmate (an index of GSH depletion) labeled from (2)H-enriched body water. In rats whose body water was 2.5% (2)H enriched for up to 31 days, GSH labeling follows a com...

A label-free, rapid, and highly sensitive colorimetric assay for the detection of glutathione (GSH) was developed.

The relationship between reduced glutathione (GSH) level and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in erythrocytes was examined, using sheep erythrocytes, which have varying GSH concentrations, and dog erythrocytes with an inherited high concentration of GSH. There was a positive correlation (r = 0.529, p < 0.001) between the GSH level and GST activity in sheep erythrocytes. In dog erythrocy...

Altered antioxidant status has been reported in schizophrenia. The glutathione (GSH) redox system is important for reducing oxidative stress. GSH, a radical scavenger, is converted to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) through glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and converted back to GSH by glutathione reductase (GR). Measurements of GSH, GSSG and its related enzymatic reactions are thus important for evalu...

background: glutathione (gsh) is a non-protein thiol compound, which plays an important role in the response to oxidative stress and nutritional stress. the aim of this study was to isolate indigenous s. cerevisiae strains capable of effectively produce gsh. methods: one hundred-twenty sweet fruit samples were collected. the strains were isolated on yeast glucose chloramphenicol (ygc) agar medi...

We have evaluated the effects of an oral treatment of mice with fraxetin (25 mg/kg for 30 days) on the glutathione system (GSH, GSSG, and GSSG/GSH ratio as stress index), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in liver supernatants from male C57BL/6J mice (18-month old). A significant antioxidant effect in vivo was found under this treatment by a decrease in the GSSG/GSH ra...

β -thalassemia/Hb E is known to cause oxidative stress induced by iron overload. The glutathione system is the major endogenous antioxidant that protects animal cells from oxidative damage. This study aimed to determine the effect of disease state and splenectomy on redox status expressed by whole blood glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and also to evaluate glutathione-related resp...

Alkaline sunflower protein extraction can be performed along with de-phenolization of seed proteins if greening is unwanted. This promoted at alkaline pH when chlorogenic acid (CGA) oxidizes and reacts amino acids such as lysine. Thiol-containing dough conditioners: L-cysteine hydrochloride glutathione (GSH) were investigated an alternative de-greening strategy to acidification de-phenolization...
