HOW IT WORKS (WHAT MAKES IT INTERESTING)
Studies suggest glutathione functions through several key mechanisms:
• Free Radical Scavenging – Directly neutralizes hydroxyl radicals, superoxide, and other reactive oxygen species through its sulfhydryl group • Enzymatic Antioxidant Support – Serves as cofactor for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase in cellular defense systems
• Protein S-Glutathionylation – Protects protein cysteines from irreversible oxidation while regulating protein function through redox signaling • Phase II Detoxification – Conjugates with electrophilic compounds via glutathione S-transferases to facilitate toxin elimination • Redox Homeostasis – Maintains the critical GSH/GSSG ratio that determines cellular oxidative stress status • γ-Glutamyltransferase Substrate – Rapidly hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract, limiting oral absorption but enabling research into enzymatic barriers
