Isolated effects of heat stress on reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and the GSH/GSSG ratio in plasma and erythrocytes.

	35 °C		41 °C
	Plasma	Erythrocytes	Plasma	Erythrocytes
GSH (µmol/L)	0.0 ± 0.0	1.51 ± 1.46	0.04 ± 0.09	2.82 ± 1.14 *
GSSG (µmol/L)	0.17 ± 0.06	2.90 ± 0.78	0.17 ± 0.08	3.03 ± 0.83
GSH/GSSG ratio	0.0 ± 0.0	0.55 ± 0.52	0.19 ± 0.38	0.95 ± 0.34

* Significantly different from erythrocytes at 35 °C (p < 0.05).
