Application: This kit contains all important components that enable a reliable quantification of oxidized and reduced glutathione. Glutathione is usually presented as a reduced form (GSH), but GSH is converted into an oxidized form (GSSG) by stimulation of oxidative stress. Therefore, the ratio of GSH and GSSG has been focused as an index of oxidative stress. The GSSG/GSH Quantification Kit contains the reagent for GSH masking. The principal is based on a colorimetric reaction of DTNB (5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid)) and measured of absorbance at 412 nm. The detection ranges of total glutathione and GSSG using in this kit are from 0.5 mumol/l to 50 mumol/l and from 0.5 mumol/l to 25 mumol/l, respectively.
