consistency of dosing matters more than form
Dosages varied according to the specific AOX, with some studies incorporating combinations of more than three AOXs
Once in the cytosol, cystine is reduced to cysteine, which enters the glutathione biosynthesis pathway
GSH was shown to be the main inhibitor in the active site of the main protease (M pro ), the essential protein for virus invasion, and cysteine (Cys300) glutathionylation inhibits M pro activity by blocking its dimerization supporting the use of GSH in COVID-19 patients (Davis et al., 2021
NAPDH Oxidase converts oxygen to Super Oxide (O 2 ) mainly in neutrophils Myeloperoxidase (MPO) converts peroxide (H2O2) into Hydrochloric Acid (HOCl) mainly in neutrophils Fenton Reaction generates Hydroxide (OH-) from peroxide (H2O2) using iron Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) converts Super Oxide (O 2 ) to peroxide (H2O2) Glutathione convert Hydroxide (OH-) to water Catalase converts Peroxide (H2O2) to water We will see in the immunology section that that a defect in NADPH Oxidase causes Chronic Granulomatous disease
