Glutathione
The body's master antioxidant tripeptide, central to redox and detoxification research.
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine and the most abundant intracellular antioxidant. Its reactive thiol group neutralizes reactive oxygen species and regenerates other antioxidants, making the GSH/GSSG ratio a standard marker of cellular redox state.
Research interest centers on glutathione's roles in detoxification, immune-cell function, and protection against oxidative stress. It is studied both as an endogenous defense system and as a supplemented compound in cell and animal models.
