“Furthermore, in cells pretreated with L-BSO , the addition of ascorbate (250 microM) afforded significant protection against DA-induced toxicity, while pyruvate (500 microM) had no protective effect.”
“Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) was given intravitreally; at 48 hours after 4.0 mg BSO , iris-ciliary body total glutathione levels were reduced by 80%, aqueous ascorbate levels were reduced by 53%, and aqueous H2O2 levels were unaltered.”

“ BSO affected the transcription and activities of key enzymes involved in ascorbate metabolism, which resulted in major fluctuations in cellular ascorbate levels.”
