Chinese term or phrase: 还原型
In the descriptn of the properties of a new drug, there i reference to glutathion (还原型) (in parentheses) being used as a carrier. Would this be translated "reduced form"? TIA!

Explanation:
谷胱甘肽(还原型) Glutathione (Reduced Form)

In Google, you can find many examples of "谷胱甘肽(还原型)" as "Glutathione (Reduced Form)". My preference is "Gluthathione (reduced)".

Both are right: Glutathione reduced; Glutathione, Reduced Form


Explanation:
Still not conveinced? I'd like to support the two young ladies as a former chemical engineer. I did a search in a company's database using the CAS No. 70-18-8 from Denyce's results and found the following:

Glutathione, Reduced Form [70-18-8]
Synonyms: 5-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine; Glutathione; Glutathione reduced; Glutathione, Reduced Form; Glycine, N-(N-L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl)-; GSH; L-Glutathione; L-Glutathione reduced; Reduced glutathione; gamma-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine;

Also, see the two websites I provided.

后生可畏!
