[Changes in the content in reduced and oxydized glutathione in incubated bovine lenses (author's transl)]

Incubation of bovine lenses over a period of 24 h in Krebs-Ringer solution effects a decrease in the content of GSH. This decrease can be blocked by addition of 2 mM/1, each of glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine. The content in GSSG is in no way influenced by incubation with or without addition of the three amino acids.
