Abstract: | The widely used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure to determine glutathione in biological samples utilizing iodoacetic acid as thiol quenching agent and 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene for derivatization has been modified regarding tissue sample processing and storage of the working solutions. The modified procedure compared with the original method reduces artifactual oxidation in rat liver glutathione measurement (1.47±0.8% vs. 2.84±0.69%, respectively). In both HPLC procedures, an increase in artifactual oxidation was found in both standard glutathione solutions and hepatic samples when N-ethylmaleimide instead of iodoacetic acid was used for thiol trapping. |
