The role of R-2-HG as an oncometabolite has been implicated in epigenetic modifications through the inhibition of -KG-dependent dioxygenases and demethylases, which has been assumed to be a driver of tumorigenesis 117,118
Since the bioavailability of Glutathione is low when taken orally, what about other forms of supplement
Elevated concentrations of metals (such as As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, and Pb) may affect photosynthetic apparatus, electron transport chain and chlorophyll biosynthesis, induce cellular damage, impair cellular redox homeostasis, and finally cause cellular metabolic arrest (Anjum et al., via lowering water potential, and alter the normal homeostasis of cells (Miller et al., 2 O 2 , O 2 ) are common in plants exposed to high levels of salinity and/or metals (Benavides et al., Diverse plant taxa have been reported to adapt metabolically to salinity and exposure to metals by enhancing synthesis of sulfur (S)-rich peptides (such as glutathione, GSH) and low-molecular-weight nitrogenous and proteogenic amino acids/osmolytes (such as proline, Pro) (Khan et al., 1)
When glutathione levels are high, the body can more effectively neutralize the damage from sun exposure and pollution
