In vitro data obtained from GSH dosage in the experimental model are reported. The applied and measured GSH amounts are expressed as mg (mean ± standard deviation SD) in the collected medium at different times and homogenized tissue at the end of experimental period. The (%) absorption values, calculated on GSH applied amount, both partial absorption related to each single monitored experimental time and total absorption (the sum of the % in the consecutive times), are calculated and reported in the table too.
