Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, and is one of the most extensively studied endogenous antioxidants in biochemical research. Found in virtually all mammalian cells, it plays a central role in maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis, neutralising reactive oxygen species (ROS), and supporting phase II detoxification processes in the liver.
In research settings, glutathione is investigated for its mechanisms in cellular protection against oxidative stress, its involvement in mitochondrial function, and its potential interactions with immune signalling pathways. Studies have also explored its role in modulating inflammatory responses, supporting glutathione S-transferase activity, and maintaining the reduced state of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.
