while selenite caused a 44 % decrease in lens gsh by 6 days postinjection , there was no concurrent increase in either gssg or pssg . likewise , there was no evidence for increased oxidation of psh to pssp . to determine if gsh loss were the cause of the selenite cataracts , we injected normal rats with the glutathione synthesis inhibitor buthionine sulfoximine ( bso ) .
