A method for measurement of both oxidized (GSSG) and reduced (GSH) glutathione was developed, with use of o-phthalaldehyde (OPT) as a fluorescent reagent. The method takes advantage of the reaction of GSH with OPT at pH 8 and of GSSG with OPT at pH 12; GSH can be complexed to N-ethylmaleimide to prevent interference of GSH with measurement of GSSG. The method gave recoveries of 91-110% for both GSH and GSSG and was quite specific for glutathione; none of the manipulations appeared to influence the amount of glutathione present in the rat tissue. Results for GSH levels agreed well with earlier reports but levels of GSSG estimated here were higher than earlier reported values. The reasons for the apparently higher levels of GSSG are discussed.
