Although red blood cells lack mitochondria, hepatocytes exhibit altered OXPHOS and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity upon parasite infection ( Plasmodium infection decreases host mitochondrial respiration while increasing glycolytic flux, mirroring the Warburg-like effect seen in cancer cells ( Similarly, Toxoplasma gondii , an obligate intracellular protozoan, forms a parasitophorous vacuole (PV) within host cells, which closely associates with host mitochondria in a process termed host mitochondrial association (HMA) ( Toxoplasma gondii reduces parasite growth and virulence, underscoring the importance of mitochondrial hijacking for parasitic survival (Powell et al., 2024)

Methemoglobinemia was suspected because of the oxygen-resistant cyanosis without respiratory compromise or abnormalities on chest X-ray

In addition to raw material constraints, the synthesis process itself presents technical and environmental limitations

Individual responses to glutathione supplementation may differ, and not everyone will experience the same effects or benefits
