Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide, which is synthesized by the amino acids, glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine. It is the most abundant non – protein thiol acting against oxidative stress. GSH plays a key role in the redox signaling as well as xenobiotic ( a chemical substance found within an organism that is not naturally produced or expected to be present) detoxification.
Glutathione helps with cellular proliferation. ( rapid production of cells), apoptosis ( The process of programmed cell death), immune response and cytokine (small proteins) production. GSH is utilized in metabolic and biochemical reactions throughout the body:
- DNA synthesis and repair
- Protein synthesis
- Prostaglandin synthesis
- Amino acid transport
- Enzyme activation
