"Cellular glutathione" refers to a substance called glutathione that is found inside our cells. It is an important antioxidant that helps protect the cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. Think of it as a sort of superhero that helps keep our cells healthy and functioning properly.
Full definition
At present, it is not quite clear how effectively dietary glutathione raises
cellular glutathione levels; indications are that oral supplementation doesn't have much of an effect.
Whey is loaded with collagen and L - glutamine and
enhances cellular glutathione stores which are both needed to repair the intestinal wall and de-inflame the body.
This protein source is also loaded with L - glutamine and enhances
cellular glutathione stores which are both necessary for rebuilding the gut and de-inflaming the body.
The combination of a lack of ROS generation and increased levels
of cellular glutathione suggest that HPP - 4382 induces HMOX1 in a manner distinct from electrophilic activators of Nrf2.
NAC has been shown to suppress induction of Nrf2 - dependent gene activation by electrophilic compounds, an attribute of both its chemical reactivity and its ability to
maintain cellular glutathione levels.
Extended treatment of NHLF cells with all compounds revealed a recovery of
cellular glutathione with all compounds except BSO (data not shown).
Many foods contain cysteine but either not in a form that can survive the digestive tract or not in high enough concentrations to
influence cellular glutathione levels.
By supplementing with N - Acetyl Cysteine, you will
increase cellular Glutathione levels, because cysteine is the limiting component in the production of Glutathione.
Further research has shown how the chemical disrupts the liver's main detox pathway (cytochrome P450) and
depletes cellular glutathione levels affecting detox and inflammation 2, 5, 6, 8.
Whey is loaded with collagen and L - glutamine and
enhances cellular glutathione stores which are both needed to repair the intestinal wall and de-inflame the body.
The production of ROS and reactive electrophiles is counterbalanced by a conserved, well - defined set of cellular pathways leading to increased expression of oxidative stress - responsive proteins that degrade ROS, clear reactive electrophiles and increase
cellular glutathione.
The identified compounds are not electrophiles, do not deplete
cellular glutathione or otherwise incite a cellular stress response.
These compounds are not reactive electrophiles, are not suppressed by N - acetyl cysteine, and do not perturb either ROS or
cellular glutathione.
