abstract：:Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in the metabolism of arsenite and arsenate by generating arsenic-glutathione complexes. Although dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)) is the major metabolite of inorganic arsenicals (iAs) in urine, it is not clear how DMA(V) is produced from iAs. In the present study we report that S...
