Mouse Glutathione (GSH) ELISA Kit-Competitive

Glutathione is a crucial antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and other oxidative stress agents, including superoxide anions, hydroxyl radicals, and carbon-nitrogen radicals, thereby shielding cells from oxidative damage. For instance, research has demonstrated that glutathione mitigates oxidative damage in the liver and kidneys of mice by reducing oxidative stress reactions. Additionally, glutathione plays a vital role in detoxification processes. It transforms toxic substances such as mercury, furans, and certain drugs into non-toxic or less harmful compounds, protecting cells and tissues from toxic damage. For example, mice treated with furan exhibited significantly less liver cell damage when supplemented with glutathione. Furthermore, glutathione enhanced liver function by lowering serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).
