Thank you Madelyn for sharing the paper. I am struck by the following:
" That the survival of nigral dopaminergic neurons depends on the precise control of glutathione levels was further demonstrated by significant degeneration induced through moderate overproduction of glutathione. Over-expression of either of the two subunits of glutamate-cysteine ligase induced aberrant glutathiolation of cellular proteins and significant degeneration of dopaminergic neurons"
It is a delicate balance. Too much glutathion is just as bad as too little and only God knows the right balance.
I take a lot of antioxidants and now I am wondering if it is doing me good or bad !?
