Glutathione and associated enzymes in toxic cataractogenesis-selenite model.
2006
Glutathione, γ-glutamyl cysteine synthetase (γ -GCS) and glutathione reductase (GSH-R) activity were determined biochemically in the lens during various stages after subcutaneous administration of sodium selenite in multiple low dosages and single high dosages. The GSH concentration and γ-GCS and GSH-R activity declined progressively after the selenite administration. The changes observed were discussed in relation to the possible role of selenite interaction with GSH and the enzymes.
