| abstractText | A glutathione reductase (GR) mutant with approximately 50% residual enzyme activity in blood compared with wild-type was detected amongst offspring of isopropyl methanesulphonate-treated male mice. Homozygous mutants with only 2% residual enzyme activity were recovered in progeny of inter se matings of heterozygotes. Results of linkage studies indicate a mutation at the Gr1 structural locus on chromosome 8. The loss of GR activity was evident both in blood and in other tissue extracts. Erythrocyte and organo-somatic indices did not show differences between wild-types and homozygous mutants, indicating no association between the GR deficiency and haemolytic anaemia in this potential animal model. |
