A convenient method for the determination of reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection is reported. This assay involves direct addition of human plasma to methanolic monobromobimane, for simultaneous protein precipitation and thiol derivatization. The assay was validated by addition of authentic GSH and GSSG to plasma samples. Plasma glutathione levels in Chinese male and female volunteers were found to decrease with increasing age (age groups 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, and > 60; mean +/- S.E.M. 0.95 +/- 0.03, 0.77 +/- 0.02, 0.67 +/- 0.03, 0.51 +/- 0.02, 0.48 +/- 0.02 microM for male volunteers and 1.11 +/- 0.06, 0.76 +/- 0.03, 0.61 +/- 0.03, 0.53 +/- 0.04 and 0.43 +/- 0.04 microM for female volunteers). GSSG levels, in both males and females, did not show a correlation with age. There were no significant differences in GSH or GSSG levels among male and female volunteers of the same age group. These results suggest that elderly persons might be more susceptible to oxidative injury due to decreased plasma glutathione levels.
