This phenylacetyl modification eliminates the need for high-dose protocols typically required with standard glutathione supplementation, making it both more efficient and cost-effective
As a soft nucleophile it conjugates electrophiles in glutathione S-transferase-catalysed phase-II reactions
Thus, glutathione is an essential part of the way cells balance ROS on a constant basis, as well as being available in situations where oxidative stress is generated by toxins, disease, or other pathological conditions.[ref] Glutathione peroxidase (GPX1, GPX2,3,4) antioxidant in cells Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of enzymes that bind glutathione to toxic substances to remove them from the cell and then out of the body
