Glutathione injection prior to irradiation improves the survival rate, decreases the weight loss, and reduces the susceptibility to trauma of X-irradiated mice. Four mg glutathione per g of mouse is roughly twice as effective as 1.6 mg glutathione per g of mouse. In these experiments no protection was evident in the low lethal dose range (450-650 r).
