In Vitroassessment on viability of human periodontal ligament cells after storage in chlorophyllin-added medium

“…Glutathione (GSH) is one of the components of ViaSpan, which functions as antioxidant. Although this agent was relatively impermeable across the cell membrane, it could possibly get into the cell and prevent cell injury in the cold 34) . Therefore, it seemed that the storage at 37℃ might inhibit the activity of GSH, and lead to the decreased viability of PDL cells in ViaSpan.…”
