By characterizing GSHs function and designating it as a special regulator of immune cell behavior, this review highlights its potential as both a therapeutic agent and biomarker for patients with neurodegenerative conditions
Here we emphasize the role of Nrf2 activators and the vital role of antioxidants like the GSH system in prevention against oxidative stress and cell and tissue damage (Cuadrado et al., 2020) in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease (Figure 5)
