The Cancer And Pathology about Glutathione
The Cancer And Pathology about Glutathione
Cancer
Preliminary results indicate glutathione changes the level of reactive oxygen species in isolated cells grown in a laboratory,which may reduce cancer development.None of these tests were performed in humans.
However, once a cancer has already developed, by conferring resistance to a number of chemotherapeutic drugs, elevated levels of glutathione in tumour cells are able to protect cancerous cells in bone marrow, breast, colon, larynx, and lung cancers.
Pathology
Excess glutamate at synapses, which may be released in conditions such as traumatic brain injury, can prevent the uptake of cysteine, a necessary building-block of glutathione. Without the protection from oxidative injury afforded by glutathione, cells may be damaged or killed.
