Glutathione

Glutathione is a tripeptide (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) that serves as the primary intracellular antioxidant. This molecule is essential for cellular redox balance and detoxification. Researchers study Glutathione for its effects on oxidative stress, immune function, and cellular protection in laboratory models.

Research on Glutathione examines its antioxidant and detoxification functions. Studies focus on its effects on reactive oxygen species neutralization, xenobiotic metabolism, immune cell function, and cellular protection. Researchers investigate its mechanisms involving glutathione peroxidase and transferase enzymes, redox signaling, and cellular defense systems in experimental settings.
