Function:
Reduced L-glutathione is a well-known tripeptide, -glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, abbreviated GSH. It is the most abundant low-molecular-weight thiol, and GSH/glutathione disulfide is the major redox couple in animal cells. "Glutathione deficiency contributes to oxidative stress, which plays a key role in aging and the pathogenesis of many diseases (including kwashiorkor, seizure, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, HIV, AIDS, cancer, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes).
