    Abstract:
    Malondialdehyde (MDA) and diene conjugates (DC) and vitamin C levels and the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined in the liver and kidney and their mitochondrial fractions of guinea pigs 48 h after the injection of L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO), a glutathione (GSH) depleting agent. In BSO-induced GSH depletion, lipid peroxidation and SOD activities were found to be increased but GSH-Px activities did not change in the liver and kidney and their mitochondrial fractions. In addition, vitamin C levels remained unchanged in the liver and kidney homogenates. These results indicate that GSH depletion may influence oxidative stress in the liver and kidney and their mitochondrial fractions of guinea pigs.
