| Abstract: | Glutathione (GSH) is a powerful, water-soluble antioxidant composed of three amino acids: glycine, glutamate and cysteine. Found in the cytoplasm of every cell, glutathione exists in two states: reduced (GSH) and oxidised (GSSG). It plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress by neutralising reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintaining cellular redox balance. In recent years, glutathione has garnered attention for its potential in managing neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and lfontington's Disease (HD). |
