My first assay for total glutathione worked well, but when I repeated the assay to test the oxidized samples, the curve was essentially flat-to-negative.
Oxidized glutathione is very difficult to detect because it is rapidly turned over and converted, so there is only a…

Why and how should I treat my samples and the standard with 4-Vinylpyridine (4-VP)?
In order to measure oxidized glutathione (GSSG), you must eliminate GSH in the cell extract by treating with 4-VP, a…
