Supplementing with reduced glutathione directly seems intuitive, but encounters two significant obstacles: First, the majority of an oral dose of reduced glutathione is oxidized before it can be absorbed the highly reactive sulfhydryl group on the cysteine residue is rapidly oxidized in the GI environment, converting GSH to its oxidized form (GSSG), which cannot raise intracellular glutathione levels
The chronic depletion of GSH, closely linked to ageing and diabetes, can precipitate cell death and impede cell division in the RPE via the mechanisms described above [18,19]

Although continuous treatment of park 13 flies with L-DOPA reduced the inherent oxidative stress consistent with previous results, the flies still showed considerably higher levels of oxidative radicals (Fig
