Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2001
Altered glutathione metabolism in association with increased oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases. However, whether strategies aimed at restoring glutathione concentration and homeostasis are effective in ameliorating or modifying the natural history of these states is unknown.

Glutathione Peroxidase and Glutathione Reductase Activities toward Glutathione-Derived Antioxidants
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1994A new class of glutathione derivatives with antioxidant properties has been prepared by transformation of the NH2 group into a pyrrole ring with various substitutions at the 2 and 5 positions. Due to steric hindrance and/or hydrophobicity of the 2-5-disubstituted pyrrole ring, the reduced glutathione derivatives are poor substrates of the glutathione ...

The glutathione peroxidase activity of glutathione S-transferases
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1980Glutatione transferases (RX:glutathione R-transferases, EC 2.5.1.18) B and AA were purified from rat liver to investigate the mechanism for their apparent GSH peroxidase activity (GSSG formation). Both transferases catalyze an overall reaction in which loss of cumene hydroperoxide is accompanied by a stoichiometric increase in GSSG.

Glutathione (GSH), the most ubiquitous and abundant nonprotein thiol, is essential in numerous detoxification reactions and is therefore considered a chemoprotectant. In the human, levels of GSH range from 30μM in plasma to 3mM in kidney proximal tubules; tumors of various organs can contain up to 10mM GSH [1].

Many functions of mitochondrial GSH are significantly different from those of cytosolic GSH. This review considers the peculiarity of functions of mitochondrial GSH and enzymes of its metabolism, especially glutathione peroxidase 4, glutaredoxin 2, and kappa-glutathione transferase.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2013
The tripeptide γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine or glutathione (GSH) has demonstrated protective abilities against the detrimental effects of oxidative stress within the human body, as well as protection against infection by exogenous microbial organisms.In this review we describe how GSH works to modulate the behavior of many cells including the cells of ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2013
With increasing evidence that hydroperoxides are not only toxic but rather exert essential physiological functions, also hydroperoxide removing enzymes have to be re-viewed. In mammals, the peroxidases inter alia comprise the 8 glutathione peroxidases (GPx1-GPx8) so far identified.Since GPxs have recently been reviewed under various aspects, we here ...

Analytical Biochemistry, 1980
Abstract The total glutathione content of biological samples is conveniently determined with an enzymatic recycling assay based on glutathione reductase ( F. Tietze, 1969 , Anal. Biochem. 27 , 502–522). In the original and several subsequent descriptions of this procedure, glutathione disulfide is selectively determined by assaying samples in which

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2005
▪ Abstract This review describes the three mammalian glutathione transferase (GST) families, namely cytosolic, mitochondrial, and microsomal GST, the latter now designated MAPEG. Besides detoxifying electrophilic xenobiotics, such as chemical carcinogens, environmental pollutants, and antitumor agents, these transferases inactivate endogenous α,β ...
