In addition, cotreatment of docetaxel-resistant NSCLC with docetaxel plus R162 inhibited cancer cell growth and metastasis both in vitro and in xenograft mouse models, again suggesting that combination therapy with anticancer drugs plus a GLUD1 inhibitor is an effective cancer treatment 23
Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a selenoenzyme that uses GSH as a co-factor to regulate lipid peroxidation of cell membranes during increased oxidative stress
Injury recovery Investigated in rodent research on recovery from musculoskeletal injuries
A noncanonical mechanism of Nrf2 activation by autophagy deficiency: direct interaction between Keap1 and p62
As cited above, the amino acid cysteine is a rate-limiting factor for GSH synthesis, and a variety of both clinical trials and in-vitro/in-vivo data suggest that supplying cysteine as NAC is an effective strategy for enhancing GSH production and intracellular cysteine.Intravenous NAC has been utilized for some time to treat acetaminophen and non-acetaminophen induced acute liver failure by restoring the concentration of GSH, and has been found to be safe and effective
