Effect of dietary supplementation with gluthathione, glutathione ester and N-acetylcysteine on reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in mitochondria from rat kidney cortex and medulla

Effect of dietary supplementation with gluthathione, glutathione ester and N-acetylcysteine on reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in mitochondria from rat kidney cortex and medulla

The present study determined whether dietary supplementation with reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione ester (GSHE) or N-acetylcysteine (NAC) increased the mitochondrial level of GSH, the major antioxidant inside cells, in rat kidney cortex and medulla. Nine month-old female Lewis rats were given...
