Table 3 GSH/GSSG Ratio

From: Protective efficacy of natansnin, a dibenzoyl glycoside from Salvinia natans against CCl4 induced oxidative stress and cellular degeneration in rat liver

  GSH (μ mol/gm tissue) GSSG (μ mol/gm tissue) Ratio
Control 32.12 ± 2.6 11.3 ± 0.71 0.84
CCl4 treated 16.7 ± 1.05 19.6 ± 1.11 -1.14
Natansnin treated 30.03 ± 2.4 11.5 ± 0.85 0.65
Natansnin (10 mg) + CCl4 treated 26.8 ± 1.7 14.7 ± 0.9 -0.16
Natansnin (20 mg) + CCl4 treated 28.1 ± 1.91 14.1 ± 0.81 -0.007
  1. Reduced and oxidized glutathione levels were measured in liver homogenate from control, CCl4 and natansnin (10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg body weight) treated rats. Glutathione levels are expressed as μmoles per gram tissue. Ratio = GSH-2(GSSG)/GSSG.
