Anethole Dithiolethione Increases Glutathione in Kidney by Inhibiting γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase: Biochemical Interpretation and Pharmacological Consequences

Table 2

Oxidative stress parameters in blood in rats orally treated with ADT. Rats () were orally administered 1 mg/kg (b.w.) vehicle (saline) or ADT once a day for three weeks. At one-week interval biomarkers of oxidative stress were measured in blood ( for each group). PSSG values in RBC membranes are expressed as pmoles/mg Hb. vs. vehicle group.
