Glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2.) in experimental trypanosomiasis

The activity of glutathione reductase (GHSR) in extracts of kidney, liver and testis of rats infected with Trypanosoma congolense decreased with every wave of parasitemia. The implications of these observations as they relate to the risk of oxidative stress are discussed.
