Cigarette smoking contributes to the development or progression of numerous chronic and age-related disease processes, but detailed mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, we examined the redox states of the GSH/GSSG and Cys/CySS couples in plasma of smokers and nonsmokers between the ages of 44 and 85 years (n = 78 nonsmokers, n = 43 smokers). The Cys/CySS redox in smokers (-64 +/- 16 mV) was more oxidized than nonsmokers 76 +/- 11 mV; p
