Relationship between TA and EBC total GSH and AM GSH staining. Total GSH concentrations in the A) TA and B) EBC as measured via HPLC were compared to GSH staining on the isolated AM as determined by immunofluorescence. A) A moderate positive correlation existed between TA total GSH and AM GSH stain. B) A moderately positive correlation also exists between EBC total GSH and AM GSH. Points represent the values of urea-corrected total GSH concentrations in nM on the Y axis versus AM GSH stain as quantified in relative fluorescent units (RFU)/cell on the X axis. Correlations were calculated after log10 normalization of the total GSH concentrations.
