Regarding its multi-functionality as a nutrient, protein folding, and major component for redox balance due to its involvement in glutathione synthesis, disruption of cysteine homeostasis appears to be promising strategy for induction of cancer cell death
The alterations in the MPTP lead to swelling, osmotic water influx, and release of pro-apoptotic factors, which can lead to cell death [85]
As a master antioxidant, Glutathione protects cells from damage caused by free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which are implicated in various chronic diseases
Others recommend taking it with a small fat-containing meal to support micellar absorption
In contrast, the transition to hemolytic toxicity observed at supratherapeutic concentrations (100 M) suggests a biphasic pharmacological profile
