AS AN ANTIOXIDANT
Glutathione is the major antioxidant produced by the cell, protecting it from ‘free radicals’ (oxygen radicals, oxyradicals). These Highly reactive substances, if left unchecked, will damage or destroy key cell components (e.g. Membranes, DNA) in microseconds.
Oxyradicals are
generated in many
thousand
mitochondria located
inside each cell,
where nutrients like
glucose are burnt
using oxygen to make
energy.
(Mitochondria can be
thought of as the
batteries that
provide the power
for the cells to
operate).
Oxyradicals also
come from pollutants
, from UV radiation
and as other
sources. In
addition,
glutathione recycles
other well known
antioxidants such as
vitamin C and
vitamin E, keeping
them in their active
state.
HOW IT WORKS
 |
The "glutathione antioxidant system" is among your body's most important internal protective systems because glutathione participates directly in the destruction of reactive oxygen compounds (free radicals or oxiradicals) - the normal oxidative by-products of cellular metabolism.
Glutathione destroys free radicals, is involved in the detoxification of foreign compounds such as carcinogens, etc., and supports the normal active functioning of the immune system. |
In the Glutathione Oxidation Reduction (Redox) Cycle, one molecule of (harmful) hydrogen peroxide is reduced to 2 molecules of (harmless) water, while 2 molecules of (reduced) glutathione (GSH) are oxidized in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, which requires selenium as a catalyst.
Hence, GSH is transformed to GSSG. The ratio of GSSG/GSH in the cell is an important marker of oxidative stress. Glutathione reduces toxic substances before they can damage other molecules or important parts of the cell.
When these toxins combine with glutathione, they form a water soluble compound that can be excreted once and for all by the kidneys. The highest concentration of glutathione is found in the liver which is the principal organ involved in the detoxification and elimination of toxic materials.
