Abstract:
Changes in plasma glutathione were investigated under hypoglycemic status. Twelve rabbits were randomly divided into hypoglycemic group (n=6) and saline-injected control group (n=6). Hypoglycemia was induced by intravenous injection of insulin as 10 U/kg and recovered by intravenous glucose injection after 60 minutes. In the control group, saline was intravenously injected in stead of insulin. Plasma levels of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) rose significantly (p<0.01) and remarkably decrease in plasma GSH/GSSG ratio (p<0.05) accompanying increase in serum enzymes in the hypoglycemic group. These results suggest that hypoglycemia might cause change in plasma GSSG which is related to increase of serum enzymes by hypoglycemia.
