Abstract
During Leishmania donovani infection of golden hamsters, changes in the glutathione levels of lymphoid tissues were observed. While in liver and thymus there was significant decrease in the levels of reduced and oxidised glutathione, that in spleen, bone marrow cells, peritoneal exudate cells and lymph nodes increased, indicating a role for host glutathione in establishing the infection.
