To a fixed concentration of GSH (100 μmol/L) was added increasing concentrations of diamide(a). The final GSH concentrations(b) presented acceptable precision (SD ≤ 12.8%)(d). When compared with to the expected by the reaction stoichiometry (1GSH:2diamide)(c) the accuracy(e) was acceptable below 57.5 μmol/L of GSH (RD% ≤ 5.80%) The GSH concentrations(b) were obtained with the absorbance of the first eight points described in figure 5 and a suitable standard curve. *RD above 5.80%.
