To maintain a steady, endogenous supply of cysteine for glutathione production, the body relies heavily on the transsulfuration pathway
Renal glutathione transport: Identification of carriers, physiological functions, and controversies
When it comes to glutathione, dosage determines outcome
The review also covered three therapeutic research strategies: direct GSH depletion (leading to ferroptosis or enhanced chemotherapy sensitivity), indirect approaches targeting the tumour microenvironment, and prodrug strategies utilising elevated tumour GSH for drug activation
And of those antioxidants, were talking about one specifically
