The formation of glutathione-chromium complexes and their possible role in chromium disposition. 1985

H J Wiegand, and H Ottenwälder, and H M Bolt

The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by glutathione (GSH) in vitro resulted in the formation of two different GSH-chromium complexes with an approximate molecular-weight of 10,000 and 5000, respectively. Both complexes exhibited strong fluorescence. The molar ratio between oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and chromium was calculated by determining the chromium content of the two isolated complex species by flameless Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008970	Molecular Weight	The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule.	Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010084	Oxidation-Reduction	A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).	Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D002840	Chromates	Salts of chromic acid containing the CrO(2-)4 radical.	Chromate
D005453	Fluorescence	The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
D005978	Glutathione	A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides.
