ITEM #: 14275896
Reduced glutathione (L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine), a tripeptide, serves as a key antio x idant in animal, plant, fungi and bacteria by providing free thiol. Glutathione e x ist in reduced (GSH) and o x idized (GSSG; gluthathione disulphide) forms in cells and tissues, and the concentration of glutathione range from 0.5 to 10mM in animal cells 1 . The majority (90-95 %) of glutathione e x ist in reduced form (GSH) in healthy cells. GSH provides reducing equivalents to antio x idant enzymes,...

Reduced glutathione (L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine), a tripeptide, serves as a key antio x idant in animal, plant, fungi and bacteria by providing free thiol. Glutathione e x ist in reduced (GSH) and o x idized (GSSG; gluthathione disulphide) forms in cells and tissues, and the concentration of glutathione range from 0.5 to 10mM in animal cells 1 . The majority (90-95 %) of glutathione e x ist in reduced form (GSH) in healthy cells. GSH provides reducing equivalents to antio x idant enzymes, hydro x yl radicals, ROS and is itself o x idized to GSSG. Therefore GSH/GSSG ratio is critical indicator of the health of cell. During o x idative stress there is decrease in levels of GSH and increase in levels of GSSG and thus GSH/GSSG ratio decreases.
Glutathione colorimetric assay kit is designed to measure reduced glutathione (GSH), o x idized glutathione (GSSG) and total glutathione (GSH+GSSG) concentrations in wide range of samples like, blood, plasma, serum, cultured cells and tissue. The assay involves carefully optimized enzymatic recycling method using glutathione reductase and Ellman’s reagent (DTNB) 2 .
Features
  • Measure total, o x idized (GSSG) and reduced (GSH) glutathione colorimetrically
  • Assay Range:0.1-2.5 μM for GSSG and for GSH it would be 0.2-5 μM
  • Plated based, colorimetric measurement at 405-415nm
  • End-point and kinetic methods
  • 225 and 450 assay sizes available
  • The assay is designed to measure glutathione in wide range of samples such as plasma, blood, serum, urine, cultured cells, tissue etc.

Applications
  • Total Glutathione Colorimetric assay kit measures total, o x idized and reduced glutathione in wide range of samples such as blood, plasma, serum, cultured cells and tissues
  • Estimating glutathione in cells is one of the ways to measure o x idative stress and this assay is also vital for mitochondrial to x icity screening
  • GSH/GSSG ratio decreases in many pathological diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, artherosclerosis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s 3, 4 and thus estimating glutathione is vital in this area of research.
