Alterations in GSH metabolism in liver during arousal results in an increase in percent oxidized GSH in hAGS relative to eAGS (p<0.001, SNK, n=5). A decrease in GSSG was also observed following arousal where GSSG was greater in hAGS than in laAGS (p<0.05, SNK, n=5). Horizontal bars indicates significant difference (p<0.05) between groups. There was no significant difference between animals treated with ascorbate oxidase or saline (laAGS) prior to arousal in any of the parameters measured (p>0.60, n=5). Values for AO treated animals are as follows: GSH-eq 5.50±0.49 μmol/g wet mass; GSH 5.37±0.49 μmol/g wet mass; GSSG 0.0674±0.011 μmol/g wet mass; percent oxidized GSH was 2.48±0.40.
