TLDR
Since BSO does not affect cytochrome P-450 or conjugating enzyme activity, its use as a specific depletor of tissue GSH in the investigation of mechanisms of xenobiotic-induced toxicities is preferable to the standard GSH-depleting agents as these have other enzyme effects.

Role of glutathione in prevention of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by N-acetyl-L-cysteine in vivo: studies with N-acetyl-D-cysteine in mice.

TL;DR: Oral coadministration of N-acetyl-D-cysteine failed in preventing the elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase activity, in decreasing hepatocellular necrosis, in interdicting covalent binding of the toxic metabolite to hepato cellular proteins and in prevents the depletion of liver glutathione caused by 500 mg/kg of acetaminophen.

Gene expression profiling reveals a signaling role of glutathione in redox regulation

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that GSH, in addition to its antioxidant and protective function against oxidative stress, has a specific signaling role in redox regulation.
