Glutathione is often called the master antioxidant. Naturally produced in your liver, its vital to several essential bodily functions, including detoxification, immune system support, and tissue repair
Acrolein can be formed by burning tobacco, wood, plastic and fuels, and in the heating of animals and vegetables fats and oils at high temperatures
For all these reasons, quiescent endothelial cells are extremely sensitive to any weakening of antioxidant mechanisms such as glutathione recycling, and oxidant stressors may damage the endothelial barrier with leakage of blood components into the perivascular space
Taken together, these results suggested that redox control pathways in subcellular compartments are separately and precisely controlled to meet the specific redox requirements in these distinct locations.
