Title: Effect of whole body gamma radiation on reduced glutathione contents of rat tissues.
Abstract: Reduced glutathione (GSH) contents of blood, heart, liver and spleen were studied after one, four and seven days of irradiation in rats. Blood GSH in rats exposed to 4 Gy remained unaltered throughout, while animals exposed to 8 Gy showed significant decrease of blood GSH on the 8th day after exposure. Diminution of liver and heart GSH contents was observed initially in both groups of irradiated rats, while the reverse was noted in spleen GSH contents of experimental animals.
