Description

An actively respiring cell's survival depends on its ability to protect itself against oxidative stresses. This protection involves the presence of antioxidative defenses at certain concentrations; a cells antioxidative defensive capability can measured in several ways one of which is its ratio of reduced:oxidized glutathione. There is overall shift in the reduced:oxidized glutathione in favour of the oxidized glutathione in ageing mice tissues.
