Introduction

Glutathione Reductase is a NADPH-dependent flavoprotein that catalyzes glutathione disulfide reduction into glutathione. Glutathione Reductase is found in many tissues and helps in maintaining cellular glutathione. It is involved in the maintenance of glutathione levels which is important for oxidation–reduction processes, maintaining cellular functions and detoxification.

Thus, measuring glutathione reductase activity is an indicator of identifying oxidative stress. In the market, there are various quantitative assays available for measuring glutathione reductase activity within plasma, erythrocytes, tissues, and cell lysates.

Each glutathione reductase testing kit is available that has a detection sensitivity limit of approximately 0.6 mU/mL. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 100 assays, including standard curve and unknown samples.

The market of glutathione reductase is driven by many factors. Increase in the disease prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes will increase the demand for glutathione reductase testing. These diseases are known for accelerating oxidative stress in the body by generating free radicals which exceeds the body’s own antioxidants.

On measuring catalytic activity of glutathione reductase, antioxidant potential of deceased tissue/cells can be measured. Additionally, there has also been incremental usage of glutathione reductase testing in academic and research institutes for performing antioxidant assays.

Pharma and biotech companies can also use glutathione reductase testing to measure the antioxidant potential of drugs under development. Such activities are likely to propel the growth of glutathione reductase testing market in the forecast period with a healthy CAGR.
