Glutathione is a tripeptide consisting of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. In laboratory research, it is recognized as a key antioxidant, with its thiol group enabling the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Studies have investigated glutathione’s involvement in cellular redox balance, detoxification processes, and the regulation of oxidative stress. It also contributes to the recycling of other antioxidants and supports enzyme systems linked to immune function and metabolic activity in experimental models. Preclinical research has further explored its influence on liver health and detoxification pathways.
