Abstract

The treatment with 5ng/ml of mercuric chloride caused time-dependent decreases, and in the activities of GSH S-transferase and GSH-peroxidase, and in the concentration of GSH in CHO cells. Three hours after treatment of $Hg^{2+}$, the activity of GSH S-transferase was decreased to almost half value of control group and the activity of GSH-peroxidase was reduced significantly at 6 hr after treatment. The concentration of GSH was decreased 2 hr after treatment of $Hg^{2+}$ and was decreased to nearly half value of control group 3 hr after treatment.
