Abstract: | Background Colic could be accompanied by changes in the morphology and physiology of organs and tissues, such as the intestine. This
process might be, at least in part, due to the accumulation of oxidative damage induced by reactive oxygen (ROS) and reactive
nitrogen species (RNS), secondary to intestinal ischemia. Glutathione (GSH), being the major intracellular thiol, provides
protection against oxidative injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ischemia-induced intestinal injury could
be related with alterations in GSH metabolism. |
