Oxidized glutathione

Aliases: GSSG

Group: Antioxidant

Description:

Oxidized glutathione is a biomarker that reflects the balance of antioxidants and oxidative stress in the body. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. When the body is under oxidative stress, glutathione can become oxidized. The ratio of oxidized to reduced glutathione is used as a measure of oxidative stress. High levels of oxidized glutathione may indicate increased oxidative damage, which has been associated with various health conditions. Measuring oxidized glutathione provides valuable information about the body's oxidative balance and its potential impact on health.
