Glutathione also has non-antioxidant related protective and detoxification benefits. It is essential in the detoxification reactions of pesticides, herbicides, carcinogens. |
Glutathione, catalyzed by the enzyme Glutathione S-Transferase, conjugates to these molecules, increasing their solubility and transporting them out of the cells to be excreted in urine or bile. |
Glutathione protects the energy producing enzyme Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from attack by nitric oxide. |
Adequate levels of Reduced Glutathione (GSH) and other antioxidants prevent damage to cells caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides and heavy metals. It has three primary pathways of antioxidant activity: 1) Directly neutralizing oxidative molecules through a redox reaction 2) Functioning as a cofactor of the peroxide neutralizing enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase 3) Supporting other antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E.
Glutathione as an Antioxidant – Glutathione is a fundamental cellular protective molecule and the body’s most important antioxidant. It is found in every cell with particularly high concentrations in the liver, spleen, kidney, eye-lens, erythrocytes, and leukocytes. Greater cellular concentrations of glutathione are correlated with better cardiovascular, oral and eye health because of its ability to inhibit many of the negative effects of stress, aging and environment.
