This kinase cascade is part of the broader MAP kinase signaling network that regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and stress response pathways
However, in resistant patients, oxidative stress causes a conformational change in Keap1, leading to the release of NRF2, which translocates to the nucleus and binds to antioxidant response element (ARE), activating the expression of downstream antioxidant genes, including GPX4, NQO1, HO-1 and SOD1 [33], and promoting the synthesis of GSH, as illustrated in Fig
This may be advantageous in severe cases of mitochondrial diseases where there could be insufficient ATP available to synthesize glutathione from GGC
WebMD suggests up to 500mg per day of oral glutathione is possibly safe
Although the pathogenetic role of oxidative stress in these diseases is well established, there is still limited evidence on the therapeutic role of GSH in such conditions
