How Does the Glutathione Redox Couple Function in Antioxidation?
The antioxidation mechanism of the glutathione redox couple involves the detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS). GSH neutralizes ROS, preventing oxidative damage to cellular components such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The conversion of GSH to GSSG in this process underscores its role as a primary cellular antioxidant.
