Researchers use liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to profile the glutathione metabolome (GSH, GSSG, protein-glutathione mixed disulfides, and metabolites) across tissues of interest
Injections, under medical supervision, offer a more direct method of increasing glutathione levels but may not be suitable or accessible for everyone
Other therapeutic agents include phenolic antioxidants ( -napthoflavone, butylated hydroxyanisole, and tert -butyl hydroquinone), synthetic antioxidants (ethoxyquin, oltipraz, and phorbol esters), triterpenoid analogue (oleanolic acid derivatives, sesquiterpenes), and isothiocyanates (sulforaphane)
"We know that when oxidation tips the balance toward too much GSSG, we get a redox potential shifted more to the positive than it should be," Reipa explains
