Glutathione is the major antioxidant of low molecular weight containing SH group present in mammalian cells, in millimolar amounts in most cells.1 All forms of mercury regardless physical or chemical form are one of the most dangerous pollutants in environment.2-4 There are evidences that mercury reacts with reduced form of glutathione due to which in many specific types of cells glutathione contents are decreased as in human erythrocytes5,6 indicating that GSH is the big oxidant protectant.
