What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a high-purity synthetic tripeptide, composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, designed exclusively for laboratory research. As a critical endogenous antioxidant, Glutathione is utilized to investigate cellular redox homeostasis, detoxification pathways, and oxidative stress responses. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, this peptide provides researchers with a precise tool to study its protective and regulatory roles in experimental models.

Research Applications:
Glutathione is widely studied in preclinical research for its role in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), supporting cellular detoxification, and maintaining mitochondrial function in cellular and animal models. Investigations focus on its ability to modulate oxidative stress, protect against cellular damage, and regulate signaling pathways involved in inflammation and apoptosis. Research also explores its impact on glutathione peroxidase and reductase systems, making it a key compound for studying oxidative stress-related conditions, cellular aging, and metabolic dysfunction.
