Glutathione redox ratio

Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is the main endogenous, cellular, thiol-based antioxidant existing in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms. In healthy cells, the ratio of GSH:GSSG is actively kept higher than 100:1 but different stress-conditions can affect this balance thus it can be used as a readout of cellular redox state.
