A new method is described for the quantification of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in tissues by enzymatic recycling coupled to NADPH bioluminescent detection, Tissue samples are treated with metaphosphoric acid. In a first step, after derivatization of GSH with 4-chloro-7-trifluoromethyl-1-methylquinolinium (CFQ), GSSG is recycled in the presence of dithionitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) and NADPH by glutathione reductase, In a second step, the GSSG-dependent NADPH consumption is measured by luminescence with NADPH:FMN oxidoreductase-bacterial luciferase. The coefficient of variation for GSSG measurements on repeated assays (n = 5) is 2 and 3% for standards and tissue samples, respectively. The sensitivity of this method is at the picomole level and is convenient for determination of GSSG physiological concentrations in tissues: GSSG levels measured in rat liver and kidney ranged from 76 to 215 and 52 to 170 nmol/g wet weight, respectively.
