Immune Modulator

Glutathione

Also known as: GSH

Glutathione is an endogenous tripeptide (gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) that serves as the principal intracellular antioxidant in mammalian cells. It is not FDA-approved as a drug in the US; parenteral glutathione is used off-label (and in some compounding settings) for oxidative stress, hepatic support, and — controversially — skin lightening. The FDA has warned against injectable glutathione for skin lightening (2019) due to reports of serious adverse events.

Changes in Glutathione and Homocysteine Concentrations in Treatment-Resistant Depression After Electroconvulsive Therapy

BACKGROUND Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatment for drug-resistant depression, but the search for reliable biological predictors of its efficacy remains in-conclusive.

Zinc tolerance through glutathione import strikes a fine balance between protection and damage in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

Recently, our group showed that the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans is inherently more tolerant to high zinc stress than other streptococci, a phenotype associated with the presence of a P-type ATPase exporter named ZccE, virtually unique to S. mutans .

Thermal stability and preliminary antimicrobial evaluation of polylysine-glutathione mixtures

Background With the increasing severity of antimicrobial compound resistance, exploring the combined effects of novel antibacterial compounds is of significant research value. Polylysine possesses cationic antibacterial activity, while glutathione is renowned for its antioxidant function.

Targeting Immunomodulation by Glutathione: A Possible Therapeutic Strategy against COVID-19

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has attracted the interest of the scientific community since 2019. In fact, in the majority of cases, COVID-19 results in a mildly symptomatic disease that needs no treatment.
