Cord blood glutathione depletion in preterm infants: correlation with maternal cysteine depletion.

Cord blood glutathione depletion in preterm infants: correlation with maternal cysteine depletion.

Depletion of blood glutathione (GSH), a key antioxidant, is known to occur in preterm infants.Our aim was to determine: 1) whether GSH depletion is present at the time of birth; and 2) whether it is associated with insufficient availability of cysteine (cys), the limiting GSH precursor, or a decreas...
