Acetaldehyde Content and Oxidative Stress in the Deleterious Effects of Alcohol Drinking on Rat Uterine Horn

Table 5

Glutathione levels in uterine horn and liver tissue from rats receiving an ethanol containing liquid diet.

Group	Total glutathione	Reduced glutathione; 𝜇mol/g wet tissue	Oxidized glutathione	GSH/GSSG; mol/mol
Uterine horn
Control	0.63±0.02	0.57±0.02	0.06±0.03	9.00±4.10
EtOH	0.59±0.02^a	0.50±0.02^a	0.09±0.03^b	5.40±1.70^b
Liver
Control	3.94±0.07	3.64±0.06	0.30±0.10	12.33±4.02
EtOH	4.85±0.05^a	4.47±0.02^a	0.38±0.05^b	11.79±1.52^b

Glutathione levels were measured in liver and uterine horn tissues as described in Section 2. Each value is the mean ± S.D. from five separate tissue samples.
^a𝑃<0.05 when compared to control.
^b𝑃>0.05 when compared to control.
