Sensitive and accurate: linear detection range 0.4 - 100 M in 96-well plate Simple and convenient: mix the DTNB reagent with sample, remove protein precipitates for proteinaceous samples, add a second reagent and read the optical density Low interference: amino acids and common buffers do not interfere Direct assays: reduced glutathione in whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, tissue and cell extracts Drug discovery/pharmacology: effects of drugs on glutathione metabolism Note: The below protocol is a sample protocol
RT-qPCR was carried out using Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (Biok E3005E) with the following primers: Gclc forward (F) GGCTCTCTGCACCATCACTT and reverse (R) GTTAGAGTACCGAAGCGGGG
Benefits of Collagen for skin Improved Firmness & Elasticity As we grow older, collagen tends to decline resulting in loose skin and wrinkles
