The systems studied are as follows: glutathione-glutathione disulfide (GSH-GSSG), cysteamine-cystamine (CysASH-CysASSCysA), cysteine-cystine (CysSH-CysSSCys), homocysteine-homocystine (hCysSH-hCysSShCys), penicillamine-penicillamine disulfide (PenSH-PenSSPen), ovothiol A-ovothiol A disulfide (OvSH-OvSSOv)
The authors of both studies attributed the results to an improvement in the intestinal absorption of fluids and electrolytes and possibly increased skeletal muscle uptake causing greater neuromuscular performance, besides a possible gluconeogenic effect of alanine, sparing muscle glycogen, and retarding fatigue [144, 146]

When the body is exposed to environmental toxins, UV radiation, and other stressors, it can lead to an overproduction of free radicals, causing oxidative stress
Reactions of GSH The most important chemical functionality of GSH is its cysteinyl moiety, which can act as a radical scavenger and reducing agent via its sulfhydryl group (SH) or participate in detoxification reactions through its addition to the electrophilic center of xenobiotics [1]
