[Glutathione functions and factors decreasing its concentration].
Glutathione (GSH) is the major cellular thiol participating in cellular redox reactions. This paper answers two questions: GSH - what is it? What does it do? It also describes its forms, the role it plays in cells and organisms, and the effect of xenobiotics on GSH concentration.
