Total lung glutathione (GSH + GSSG) content
| (GSH + GSSG), μmol/lung | (GSH + GSSG), μmol/g dry wt | |
|---|---|---|
| Normoxic | 2.34 ± 0.17 | 10.23 ± 0.55 |
| Hyper-60 | 3.09 ± 0.14 | 11.96 ± 0.77 |
| Hyper-85 | 4.70 ± 0.39*† | 12.21 ± 0.47* |
Values are means ± SE; n = 8, 5, and 7 for normoxic, hyper-60, and hyper-85 lungs, respectively. GSH, reduced glutathione; GSSG oxidized glutathione. Significantly different from the corresponding * normoxic and † hyper-60 values, P < 0.05.
