As a Houston podiatrist with over 25 years in practice, I've watched regenerative medicine go from fringe conversation to front-line treatment
Glutathione works by stabilizing free radicals, preventing them from harming cells and tissues
As shown by electron microscopy in diabetic mice, astrocytic end feet in small vessels become swollen, and the plasma membrane is detached from the basal lamina [47]

Glutathione is a tri-peptide (L-g-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) that acts as both reducing agent and capping agent, which assemble on the surface of AuNCs via a stable gold-thiol linkage (from cysteine) and imparts the nanoclusters with a net negative surface charge (zeta potential = 32 4.2 mV, pH = 7.5) due to the presence of terminal carboxylic acid functional groups (sketch depicting the assembly of glutathione molecules on GSH-AuNCs and the chemical structure of glutathione peptide is shown in Fig
The levels of SA in the Cd96 group were 360% higher than those in the T0 group while the levels of SA in the GSH96 group were significantly higher those in any other treatment groups (504% and 31.3% higher than the levels in the T0 and CD96 groups, respectively)
