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.

AA-Induced Lipid Peroxidation at the Center of Tumor Cell Apoptosis and Ferroptosis

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can block HMG-CoA reductase activity and thus decrease cholesterol synthesis/formation.

Rethinking hyperhomocysteinemia: from causal risk factor to biomarker of glutathione deficiency in chronic diseases

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a common metabolic disorder characterized by systemic elevation of the thiol amino acid homocysteine.

Concurrent erythrocyte glutathione depletion and oxidative shift of the serum thiol-disulfide pool in acute pancreatitis: a case-control study

Oxidative stress is central to acute pancreatitis. Thiol groups drive antioxidant defense in both the extracellular serum thiol-disulfide system and the intracellular glutathione system, yet they have rarely been assessed together in this disease.

Evidence on Glutathione and Boosters for Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) adversely affects treatment efficacy and quality of life. Despite studies on glutathione (GSH) or GSH boosters' antioxidative effects for prevention, optimal management remains uncertain.

Structural and functional analysis of the bifunctional thioredoxin glutathione reductase -TGR- from the white shrimp Penaeus vannamei, and redox responses under hypoxia

Glutathione (GSH) plays a key role in cellular homeostasis. There are two major enzymatic pathways in invertebrates to reduce oxidized glutathione (GSSG): 1) glutathione reductase (GR) and 2) thioredoxin glutathione reductase (TGR).
