Improved Immune Function - Athletes with higher glutathione levels may experience fewer training interruptions due to illness, as GSH supports natural killer cell activity and proper immune response
In an in vitro model of Erastin-induced ferroptosis in PC12 neuronal cells, the iron inhibitor curcuminpolydopamine nanoparticles (Cur-PDA NPs) markedly enhanced the chelation of Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ , upregulated superoxide dismutase (SOD) and GSH expression, reduced Fe 2+ and ROS levels, inhibited lipid peroxidation, restored mitochondrial function, and attenuated neuronal ferroptosis
These pathways are relevant to research on tissue repair mechanisms in muscles, tendons, ligaments, bone, and gastrointestinal tissues [1,6,11]
