[Levels of glutathione and anaerobic glycolysis in the kidney and liver of rats treated with chloroethanol].

Chloroethanol administration produces in rats a strong fall of glutathione levels in liver and kidney tissues. In liver, such a modification does not imply alterations in the levels of glucose, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, fructose-1,6-biphosphate, lactate and pyruvate and in the glycolytic activity. In kidney, the glycolytic activity does not result modified, while it appears a reduction in levels of glucose, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-1,6-biphosphate and triose phosphates and a remarkable increase of pyruvate. The administration of chloroethanol produces a strong fall of glutathione in the soluble and nuclear fractions of liver and in the soluble and mitochondrial fractions of kidney.
