- _5 value "The concentration of GSH in the lung tissue of CFTR-KO mice, however, was not significantly different from that in WT mice. The activities of glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase in the lung tissue of CFTR-KO mice were significantly increased compared with those in WT mice (48 and 28%, respectively). Tissue lipid and DNA oxidation were evaluated by measurement of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, respectively. The levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in the lung tissue of CFTR-KO mice were significantly increased compared with those in WT mice. These data support our hypothesis that a mutation in the CFTR gene can affect the antioxidant defenses in the lung and may contribute to the exaggerated inflammatory response observed in CF." provenance.
