Reviewer's report: 
The brief report titled ‘Oxidised and reduced glutathione and related thiols in human gallbladder bile’ by 
Wilbert HM Peters, Annie van Schaik, Joost Peters, and Harry van Goor presents very interesting, sound 
and well controlled data, based on adequately defined questions, on the composition of human gallbladder bile in terms of glutathione and related thiols. It is an original study because previous related studies were focused mainly on rats, which in addition lack a gallbladder as a reservoir of bile. 
The manuscript adheres to the relevant standards for reporting and data deposition, the title and the 
abstract accurately convey what has been found, and the discussion and conclusions are well balanced and 
adequately supported by the data. In general, the manuscript is concisely written, well documented, and 
experimentally well designed.
