Abstract:
Aluminium is being used in the medicines in the form of antacids. The Aluminium metal can be leached from
our utensils and can harm the body for its side effects, if become available to the systemic circulation. So it is
important to check the effect of Aluminum on the Glutathione in vivo condition. Ellman method was used to
determine the effect of Aluminum on GSH level in whole blood spectrophotometerically. 5,5-Dithiobis, 2-
Nitrobenzoic Acid, Glutathione, Aluminium sulphate, phosphate buffer, HCl (Hydrochloric acid) and other
laboratory instruments were used to conduct the research work. Time dependent effect of Aluminum on
Glutathione level in whole blood was also checked and decrease was observed. This study also shows the effect of Aluminum as helping agent for the Glutathione to enhance the antioxidant system of the body or a cause for depletion of reduced Glutathione.
