Abstract:
Female Sprague Dawley rats were fed 5 mg linamarin daily for 10 days. Reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in blood and liver of experimental rats were analysed. The results showed an increase of 45% and 33% glutathione levels in blood and liver respectively in experimental rats. This alteration in glutathione levels could be most likely either due to increased hepatic biosynthesis or as a consequence of decreased peripheral utilization which might be appreciated due to hypothyroidal status induced by linamarin feeding.
