Abstract excerpt
Finnish Landrace sheep with a genetic lesion which results in restricted cysteine transport across the red cell membrane have total glutathione concentrations in their red blood cells that are approximately 40% of those in normal sheep of the same breed. However, dimethyldisulphide-challenged red blood cells from both phenotypes produce an ESR-spin adduct at similar rates. The resistance of the low glutathione...
