Definition:
Glutathione are thiol, and small molecule peptide. Glutathione is glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine combination of the three peptides, cysteine thiol on its active groups, glutathione has also prototype (G-SH) and oxidized type (GSSG) form, under physiological conditions to the majority of reduced glutathione, glutathione (GSH) is the main activity of the state, accounting for 95%; oxidized glutathione (GSSG) about 1% of the non-active state. Glutathione reductase catalyzing the interaction between the two types change. Coenzyme enzyme for the metabolism of sugar phosphates bypass provides NADPH.
Physical activity:
Glutathione has two important roles: anti-oxidation and the integration of detoxification. Glutathione, easy-to-iodine acetic acid, mustard gas (a gas), lead, mercury, arsenic and other heavy metal salt complex, but with the integration of detoxification. Glutathione (especially the liver cells of glutathione) has a very important physiological role is to integrate detoxification, with certain drugs (such as paracetamol), toxins (such as free radicals, heavy metals) and other integration, participation Biological transforming, thus bringing the body of harmful poisons into harmless substances, excreted from the body.
