Thus, changes in the GSH/GSSG ratio are fundamental in the fine-tuning of signal transduction, even under mild oxidative stress that underlies physiological events such as cell cycle regulation and other cellular processes (Schafer and Buettner, 2001)

Evaluation helps determine whether factors such as metabolism, nutrient status, hormonal balance, or lifestyle variables may be contributing
Glutathione: The Master Antioxidant Glutathione is popularly known as the master antioxidant, a tripeptide that naturally occurs and comprises three amino acids: cysteine, glutamine, and glycine
These effects can be partially reversed by restoring GSH levels, suggesting that GSH may contribute to cell death-associated responses in a context-dependent manner 212
Therefore, PS exposure, a characteristic of suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, accelerates the clearance of affected erythrocytes from the circulating blood
