El glutatin abunda en nuestras clulas hepticas, en la piel y en las mucosas
At the heart of this celestial elixir is Glutathione, a master antioxidant known for its skin brightening and detoxifying properties
In Phase II, glutathione attaches to these molecules, making them water-soluble so they can be safely excreted from the body
In conditions like glucocorticoid therapy, osteoporosis, and other oxidative stress-related bone problems, elevated ROS levels cause osteocytes and osteoblasts to undergo apoptosis, interfere with the remodeling process, and lead to inadequate and impaired bone production
Our notable exception is the observation in several studies that NAC is highly effective in elevating glutathione (GSH) under conditions where there has been a dramatic (acute depletion) drop in intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels, for instance as is the case in acetaminophen overdose
This protective mechanism is very important in organs of detoxification such as the liver and kidneys
