Abstract

Glutathione is a master of antioxidants and is manufactured in the liver, where three amino acids are used. Glutathione has several functions in the body. However, it is a strong and effective antioxidant. As the body makes a substance without any shortage. In the present study, the effect of two types of ionizing radiation on the glutathione has been used, first is gamma radiation and laser (Nd: YO4) with a wavelength (532nm), Lasers with low Intensity (LLLI), 20 sample for every type of radiation. The results showed that the concentration of Glutathione in the irradiated samples increased with a low dose of gamma (0.25 and 0.5) Gy, However, the concentration decreased rapidly with increased dose of radiation (1and 2) But using laser effect a continuous increase in the concentration of glutathione was observed in low doses of γray (0.25 and 0.5)Gy. However, the concentration decreased rapidly with increased dose of radiation to (1–2)Gy. By using laser (LLLI) affect glutathione centration continuous increase with increasing the time of exposure (5, 10 and 15)mint (5, 10 and 15)mint.
