This water-soluble tripeptide, made from the amino acids glycine, cysteine and glutamic acid, supports the cells in detoxification and helps protect them from damage caused by free radicals
A specific interest is placed on neuropeptide-mediated regulation of mucus secretion and their effects on the expression of the two major secreted gel-forming mucins in the airway, mucin5AC (muc5AC) and mucin5B (muc5B) [20]
Researchers also hypothesize that the two molecules may exhibit synergistic effects in the healing process when exposed in combination
This stability profile is one reason the peptide is frequently selected as a benchtop reference compound for cytoprotection assays
In mitochondria, GSH regulates apoptosis via modulation of oxidative phosphorylation and cytochrome c activity
Various nutrients have shown to exert pharmacological effects, which can only be achieved if done intravenously
