dc.description.abstract | Previous studies have shown that Glutathione, a
tripeptide found in blood, is involved in protecting
against toxins. Glutathione levels are known to drop in
response to cadmium. Using 15 twin pairs, we
modeled the effect of cadmium on glutathione levels.
The heritability of glutathione content was 91%. The
application of cadmium significantly reduced the mean
level of GSH. However, this reduction in GSH was not
due to additive genetic influences in our sample. | |
