Description

Protects against oxidative damage. Glutathione Oxidized, MP Biomedicals is the oxidised dimeric form of glutathione (GSH), a naturally occuring tripeptide that takes part in the body's detoxification mechanisms.

Acts as a hydrogen acceptor in enzymic determination of NADP and NADPH.

• In vivo, Glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is reduced back to glutathione (GSH) via the NADPH-dependent enzyme glutathione reductase
• The ratio of GSH to GSSG is often used to gauge the level of oxidative stress in cells, with higher concentrations of GSSG implying more oxidative stress
