Glutathione levels in uterine horn and liver tissue from rats receiving an ethanol containing liquid diet.
| Group | Total glutathione | Reduced glutathione μmol/g wet tissue |
Oxidized glutathione | GSH/GSSG mol/mol |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uterine horn | ||||
| Control | 0.63 ± 0.02 | 0.57 ± 0.02 | 0.06 ± 0.03 | 9.00 ± 4.10 |
| EtOH | 0.59 ± 0.02a | 0.50 ± 0.02a | 0.09 ± 0.03b | 5.40 ± 1.70b |

| Liver | ||||
| Control | 3.94 ± 0.07 | 3.64 ± 0.06 | 0.30 ± 0.10 | 12.33 ± 4.02 |
| EtOH | 4.85 ± 0.05a | 4.47 ± 0.02a | 0.38 ± 0.05b | 11.79 ± 1.52b |
Glutathione levels were measured in liver and uterine horn tissues as described in Section 2. Each value is the mean ± S.D. from five separate tissue samples.
a P < 0.05 when compared to control.
b P > 0.05 when compared to control.
