Concentration of sulfite, glutathione, and cysteine in rat tissue
| metabolite | concentrationa | |
|---|---|---|
| liver | heart | |
| sulfite | 9.2 ± 0.1 | 38 ± 1 |
| glutathione | 2700 ± 300 | 1330± 50 |
| cysteine | 68 ± 11 | 64 ± 3 |
Values correspond to the mean ± standard error of the mean in μmol/kg of wet tissue, obtained for matched sets of liver and heart from four individual animals.
