Analytical biochemistry, 217(2), 323-328 (1994-03-01)
A high-performance liquid chromatography method to determine oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in biological samples with ultraviolet-visible detection using N-ethylmaleimide to prevent reduced glutathione (GSH) oxidation is described. Previous methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography to quantitative GSH and GSSG are unsuitable
