Glutathione precursors are a potential treatment for mental stress

An authoritative study has revealed the therapeutic role of glutathione precursors in stress-related mental disorders. Chronic stress not only increases the risk of psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression, but is also a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease), metabolic disorders (e.g., large waist circumference, high blood pressure, diabetes), and…

Engineered E. coli to produce glutathione efficiently

Key research points Glutathione is an important tripeptide that is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. In this paper, metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used to produce glutathione efficiently. Conventional glutathione is mainly produced by yeast fermentation, but the intracellular accumulation of yeast limits its production. The researchers significantly…

Glutathione promotes T cell metabolism, which leads to inflammation

abstract Activated T cells produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which trigger the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) response, which is essential for buffering elevated ROS and preventing cell damage. We report that glutathione is essential for T cell effector function by regulating metabolic activity. Conditional gene knockout of the catalytic subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase (Gclc) blocks glutathione…
