Effect of acute and chronic glutathione depletion on renal function in the rat.
Renal function was evaluated in normal and acid-loaded rats following acute and chronic depletion of glutathione (GSH) by buthionine sulfoximine (BSO). Creatinine clearance and fractional excretion of electrolytes were normal. There was no acidification or concentration defect detected in animals with acute or chronic GSH depletion.
