Description

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine, studied for its central role in cellular detoxification and antioxidant defense.

Mechanism / how it works

Glutathione (GSH) acts as a redox buffer, neutralizing reactive oxygen species and supporting enzymatic detoxification. It regenerates other antioxidants like vitamins C and E and maintains cellular redox balance.

Uses / potential benefits (research / translational)

• Oxidative stress and detoxification studies
• Liver function and cellular protection research
• Aging and immune modulation models

Safety / side effects / cautions

• Generally well tolerated in cell and animal models
• Excessive dosing may disrupt redox equilibrium
• Avoid hypersensitivity and contamination

Dosage / administration

• Lyophilized or powdered form; reconstitute for experimental use
• Suitable for in vitro, IV, or subcutaneous research models

Storage / handling

• Store refrigerated (2–8 °C); avoid direct light and moisture exposure
