While originally discovered in the 1970s, it has gained renewed interest in clinical and anti-aging circles due to its powerful ability to support skin repair, collagen production, and tissue remodeling at the cellular level
The millimolar GSH intracellular concentrations, the low plasma micromolar concentrations and the low GSH redox potential ( E 0 = 240 mV) make GSH an ideal and perfect cellular redox buffer (Figure 2) ( FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 Glutathione is synthesized in the cytosol of all cells from their precursor amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine by consecutive action of two enzymes: -glutamyl-cysteine (-GluCys) synthetase (also known as glutamate cysteine ligase, GCL) that in a first step uses glutamate and cysteine as a substrate to form the dipeptide -glutamyl-cysteine
