2015, Pharmacological ResearchCitation Excerpt :Reduced GSH concentration has been associated with a number of neuropathological processes, such as Parkinsońs disease, Alzheimeŕs diseases, RP, diabetes, etc. [77,81–84]. It has been demonstrated that GSH is present in the retina [85] and that under normal conditions, retinal GSH is almost exclusively confined to Müller cells, astrocytes and horizontal cells, and that under conditions associated with oxidative stress, GSH is rapidly released from Müller cells and provided to neurons [86,87]. Interestingly, the staining of GSH in the retinal section of different aged wt and rd1 mice showed a change in its localization at different ages (Fig. 6a).

2013, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Glutathione acts as a scavenger of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) (27). In the retina, glutathione is produced mostly by Müller cells and astrocytes, which rapidly release it to provide neurons with antioxidant equivalents in situations of oxidative stress (27). The levels of oxidized glutathione were increased from an early age in TgIGF-I (Fig. 7A).
