title: Renal and hepatic output of glutathione in plasma and whole blood.
abstract: Measurement of glutathione (GSH) output by the rat kidney and liver demonstrated a substantial net release into red cells across both tissues. The results suggest important roles for kidney and liver in the maintenance of GSH concentrations in red cells and a significant role for the red cell in the interorgan transport of GSH.
