In some people, particularly older adults or those with limited protein intake, both glycine and cysteine availability may constrain glutathione synthesis
Some mothers use glutathione for skin-lightening purposes or to treat specific medical conditions
Increases in the expression of various molecules that have been noted in reactive astrocytes across multiple contexts include GFAP, vimentin, nestin (probably labelling proliferating astrocytes), synemin plectin, -crystallin B chain, monoaminoxodase-B (MAO-B), heat shock factor binding protein 1, complement C3, lipocalin 2, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10, SerpinA3N, LCN2 and others, 20,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103 but it important to note that no single molecular marker (including GFAP) is an absolute, required and sufficient, indicator of astrocyte reactivity, and no molecular markers have yet been identified that reliably distinguish amongst different reactive astrocyte phenotypes
both remain in phase 2 and phase 3 trials, and NHS access is not currently possible outside of registered clinical research
