Effect of pargyline on hepatic glutathione levels in rats treated acutely and chronically with ethanol. 1980

E Kaplan, and E G DeMaster, and H T Nagasawa

A single dose of pargyline severely depleted hepatic reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in the rat. Ethanol administration, acute or chronic, had no effect on hepatic GSH levels; nor did such administration exacerbate the pargyline mediated GSH depletion. However a single dose of ethanol given one hour after pargyline administration enhanced the rate of recovery of hepatic GSH.
