Glutathione and its antiaging and antimelanogenic effects

As a fundamental scavenger of free radicals, glutathione neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), protects mitochondrial function, and recycles other vital antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E

Chemotherapeutic drugs are known to have toxic side effects accompanied by ROS formation, documented by the increased peroxidation of lipids and suppressed levels of antioxidants such as glutathione and low molecular weight antioxidants

Two forms of GSH are possible: the reduced form (GSH) which represents the majority of GSH, reaching millimolar concentration in the intracellular compartment, and the oxidized form (GSSG) that is estimated to be less than 1% of the total GSH

This is because when fruits are dried, two scenarios may occur: Depending on the type of antioxidants they contain, they may lose the antioxidants (i.e
