Table 1.

The effect of GSH on the consumption of oxygen.

Conditions NO added
(nmol)
O2 consumed
(nmol)
NO/O2
NO 267 62.3 ± 3.0 (4) 4.32 ± 0.21
NO + GSH 267 81.3 ± 2.4 (4) 3.25 ± 0.05
NO + CPTIO 267 2.3 ± 3.3 (4) 0
NO + GSH + CPTIO 267 48.6 ± 4.8 (4) 5.54 ± 0.55

NO gas was added into a buffer solution (50mM phosphate/1mM DTPA, pH 7.4) with and without GSH (1mM) and CPTIO (1mM). Oxygen consumption upon NO addition was monitored by an oxygen electrode at 37°C. Data represent mean ± SD (n=4).
