title: Effect of isoproterenol administration of rat heart glutathione status.
abstract: The intraperitoneal administration of 3, 10 and 80 mg/Kg isoproterenol produced in the cardiac muscle a dose dependent increase of GSH content and a slight elevation of GSSG content. In addition, the treatment with the catecholamine at the doses of 3 and 10 mg/Kg produced a slight decrease of the mixed glutathione disulfides level, whilst at the dose of 80 mg/Kg, this effect was more pronounced. These changes were not accompanied by modifications of the activities of the enzymes glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione S-transferase.
