Kidney status of glutathione metabolism in the experimental groups

Parameters	NaCl	LA	LPS	LPS + LA
Total GSH (µM)	82.8 ± 13.7	77.6 ± 47.9	12.5 ± 5.6**	93.8 ± 39.1*
GSH (µM)	69.5 ± 16.7	56.2 ± 13.8	4.9 ± 5.6**	89.9 ± 14.7*
GSSG (µM)	19.8 ± 8.2	5.7 ± 2.7&	18.9 ± 5.8##	19.1 ± 3.4
GSH/GSSG (redox status)	3.0 ± 2.1	5.9 ± 1.3	0.2 ± 0.3#,**	3.9 ± 1.2*

Values are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 8 in each group. One-way ANOVA showed significant differences in total GSH, GSH, GSSG and GSH/GSSG concentrations between different treatment groups (F = 527.54; F = 2009.38; F = 650.08; F = 1034.78, respectively; df = 3; P < 0.001)
