GPX4 has been found at high levels in cancer cells and contributes to drug-resistance against lapatinib, palbociclib and other anti-cancer drugs
Of significance, the decrease in GSH combined with diminished -glutamylcysteine ligase activity in these animals, renders Gclm/ fetal fibroblasts strikingly more sensitive to chemical oxidants (Yang et al., 2002)
Heres a snapshot of what glutathione does: Supports detoxification pathways, especially in the liver Regulates immune function and helps reduce chronic inflammation Shields your cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage Fuels mitochondrial energy production (aka your bodys energy engines) Although your body produces its own glutathione, levels tend to drop with age, ongoing stress, toxin exposure, infections, or chronic health issues
