Table 1.
Glutathione concentrations in the brains of young mice (Y), old-control mice (OC) and old mice supplemented with GlyNAC (OG). t-GSH, r-GSH and GSSG are the total, reduced and oxidized glutathione concentrations. Results are reported as mean ± SE (standard error) and considered to be statistically significant at values p < 0.05.
