Rampant oxidative stress resulting from glutathione insufficiency may contribute to the pathogenesis of several neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart attack and stroke.45 Supplementation may be warranted in order to correct depleted states and augment endogenous glutathione synthesis under circumstances when higher levels may be beneficial
why the benefit is largest in the stressed and nil in the calm
Relevant to laboratory models involving glutathione availability, redox balance, oxidative stress response, and cellular defense systems
