Glutathione Quantification Kit is designed to detect oxidized and reduced Glutathione. Glutathione is usually represented in a reduced form called GSH; however, GSH is converted into its oxidized state (GSSG) upon oxidative stress. The ratio between GSH and GSSG is considered an index for oxidative stress. Glutathione, also known as γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, is a tripeptide compound that is involved in anti-oxidation and drug metabolism. It acts as a substrate for enzymes like glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, and thiol transferase.
Application
Glutathione Quantification Kit is used to detect the total amount of glutathione as an index for oxidative stress or disease risk.
Features and Benefits
The detection ranges of total glutathione and GSSG using in this kit are from 0.5 μmol/l to 50 μmol/l and from 0.5 μmol/l to 25 μmol/l, respectively.
Components
Glutathione Quantification Kit contains:
Enzyme Solution (50µl X 1)
Buffer Solution (60ml X 1)
Standard GSH (X 1)
Masking Reagent (20µl X 1)
Co-enzyme (X 2)
Substrate (DTNB) (X4)
Standard GSSG (X 1)
Analysis Note
Glutathione Quantification Kit contains a GSH masking reagent. This enables GSSG detection in the sample by measuring the absorption (λmax = 412 nm) obtained from a colorimetric reaction of DTNB (5,5’-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid)) coupled with the enzymatic recycling system. The total quantity of GSH can be measured by subtracting the amount of GSSG from the total amount of glutathione.

The active immunotherapy concept relies on the use of vaccines that are capable of inducing antitumor immunity, reversion of the suppressive immunological environment, and long-term memory responses. Previously, antitumor vaccines based on a recombinant plasmid (pgDE7h) or a purified protein
Acute liver failure (ALF) impairs cerebral function and induces hepatic encephalopathy (HE) due to the accumulation of neurotoxic and neuroactive substances in the brain. Cerebral oxidative stress (OS), under control of the glutathione-based defense system, contributes to the HE pathogenesis.
The present study was conducted to define the relationship between the anti-aging effect of ubiquinol-10 supplementation and mitochondrial activation in senescence-accelerated mouse prone 1 (SAMP1) mice. Here, we report that dietary supplementation with ubiquinol-10 prevents age-related decreases in the expression
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis, insulin resistance, hepatosteatosis, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), disorders that increase risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To determine whether and how ER stress contributes to obesity-driven hepatic tumorigenesis
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury. To protect mouse hepatocytes from ischemia/reperfusion injury, we prepared two different sizes of citric acid-protected platinum nanoparticles (Pt-NPs), which exhibited ROS-scavenging activities and selective delivery to a specific
