Efficient recovery of heavy metals and selenium from wastewater using granular sludge: the key role of glutathione (GSH) Research background Heavy metals, including copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), are highly toxic and persistent pollutants that have significant environmental and health impacts. And these elements are difficult to get out of the…
What is glutathione? Glutathione is the main antioxidant in the body and therefore plays an important role in controlling oxidative stress in the body. It is mainly composed of three amino acids, including cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. Since it is an antioxidant, reduced glutathione (GSH) is its active form, which neutralizes free radicals and…
Glutathione’s amazing bioactive tripeptide Glutathione (GSH) is a bioactive tripeptide made from the dehydrated condensation of L-glutamic acid, glycine, and L-cysteine by peptide bonding. First discovered by Hopkins in 1921, glutathione contains a large number of gamma-glutamyl and sulfhydryl bioactive groups. Reduced form (GSH) and oxidized form (GSSG) are the two forms of glutathione that…
yesterday, Ke Li and Zhuorong Li, Institute of Medical Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, jointly published a paper “Adipocyte-derived glutathione promotes obesity-related breast cancer by Cell metabolism” regulating the SCARB2-ARF1-mTORC1 complex “, which discovered the role of glutathione (GSH) in obesity-related breast cancer. Obesity is an important risk factor for breast cancer, however the…
What is glutathione? Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine that has a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. At present, traditional industrial production methods mainly rely on yeast fermentation process to synthesize, but this process has some limitations, glutathione will accumulate in yeast cells,…
Today, I would like to introduce to you such a new indicator – glutathione reductase. For friends who are often angry or take medication for a long time, they often worry about whether they will have liver damage. So, are there any indicators that can diagnose early liver damage? Of course there is! The director…
Glutathione is the flagship ingredient for GSH Bio-Tech, GSHWORLD’s parent company. In high summer and early fall, sun protection is a hot topic. In order to better skin, people not only slather on sunscreen, sunscreen clothes, sunglasses, masks and other gear to fight annoying UV rays. But in fact, excessive sun protection is not advisable,…
Glutathione is an active tripeptide formed by the condensation of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine by peptide bond. GSH is widely found in animal liver, blood, yeast and wheat germ, and a small amount is also distributed in plant tissues such as vegetables. Glutathione has unique physiological functions and is known as longevity factor and…
Recently, Raul Mostoslavsky’s team, from Harvard Medical School in The US, published a paper online in Nature Cell Biology entitled “The glutathione S-transferase Gstt1 drives survival and Survival” dissemination in metastases is to carry out RNA sequencing (RNA-SEQ) and subsequent lost-function shRNA targeting for matched primary and metastatic solid tumors from PDAC and breast cancer…
Glutathione is an important antioxidant in cells and plays an important role in cellular iron metabolism and detoxification of allogenic substances. Metabolic processes in cells are constantly influenced by various environmental factors. Many small metabolites (such as amino acids, certain coenzymes, and metal ions) need to be maintained at appropriate physiological concentrations to ensure normal…
