Here, those three amino acids form glutathione in a complex biochemical process
The resulting cysteine is unstable at extracellular level, and it is rapidly autoxidizes to cystine
In clinical practice, during chemotherapy for patients with impaired liver function, the liver-protective effect of GSH is often prioritized, while the potential risk of chemotherapy resistance due to its non-standardized intake is frequently overlooked
However, further prospective cohort studies with clinical endpoints in healthy subjects, and results from on-going randomized, placebo-controlled interventional trials are awaited to truly define the efficiency of homocysteine-lowering therapy in the prevention and correction of vascular disorders among patients with occlusive coronary artery, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular diseases, and thrombosis related to hyperhomocysteinemia
