(which is attached by normal peptide linkage to a glycine) and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side-chain. It is an antioxidant, preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free

radicals and peroxides.

2. Thiol groups are reducing agents, existing at a concentration of approximately 5 mM in animal cells. Glutathione

reduces disulfide bondsformed within cytoplasmic proteins to cysteines by serving as an electron donor.

In the process, glutathione is converted to its oxidized form glutathione disulfide (GSSG), also called L(-)-Glutathione.

3. Glutathione is found almost exclusively in its reduced form, since the enzyme that reverts it from its oxidized form,

glutathione reductase, is constitutively active and inducible upon oxidative stress. In fact, the ratio of reduced

glutathione to oxidized glutathione within cells is often used as a measure of cellular toxicity.

Function of Glutathione

a.Daily nutraceuticals & Dietary supplement

1.Anti-aging, antioxidant, maintain skin vigor and luster.

2.Whitening skin: restraining the melanin

3.Improve immunity: enhance immune cells function effectively prevent viruses.

b.Drug treatment and prevention

1.Protect liver: prevention & treatment of liver diseases.

2.Detoxification: drugs and other kinds of poisoning auxiliary treatments,helpful for excreting toxins.

3.Prevention and treatment of eye diseases.

4. Auxiliary treatment of diabetes.zx
