“ GSH modulated PGI2 synthesis In all carotid specimens except areas of ulceratlon (p<0.05), but did not restore PGI2 formation In atheromatous fractions to basal level.”
“In this study, PGI2 synthetase activity of bovine coronary arterial microsomes could be altered over a 2-3 fold range by GSH or dithiothreitol in a concentration-dependent manner and over a microsomal protein range of 10-200 micrograms.”

“The cytoprotective effect and the stimulatory effect on PGI2 production, where both were dose-dependent on GSH , were in a strict reverse relationship.”
“These data suggest the possibility that changes in GSH concentration may modulate eicosanoid formation in cells that contain GSH-dependent PGE2 isomerase, as well as either or both prostacyclin or thromboxane synthase(s).”
