Glutathione-related enzymes also play a critical role in defense against ROS: (a) glutathione peroxidase (GPX) is a H 2 O 2 scavenger that uses GSH as a reductant, (b) glutathione reductase (GR) reduces GSSG using NADPH as a source of reducing power and maintaining the GSH/GSSG ratio in cells, (c) glutathione-S-transferase (GST) catalyzes the nucleophilic conjugation of GSH with several electrophilic substrates, and (d) glutaredoxins (GRXs), small redox proteins from the thioredoxin (TRX) superfamily, use GSH as electron donor
