Abstract
Summary
Adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to cold. Half of those so exposed were stressed by use of restraining cages. Ergothioneine (ESH), glutathione (GSH), and total non-protein sulfhydryl compounds (TSH) of blood and liver were determined. There was a slight fall in blood ESH and no change in blood GSH or TSH. Simultaneous exposure to cold and restraint produced a significant fall in liver GSH and TSH, but not in ESH.
