Inside your dermis, collagen weaves the fabric that keeps your skin firm and bouncy, while glutathione acts like your inner defense system, keeping it clear and balanced
Phenylpropanoids and its derivatives: biological activities and its role in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries
As part of medical treatment, the patient receives an injection of a glutathione-containing solution
The idea is to understand what is affecting the skin from inside
Introduction The first reports about a plant glutathione S-transferase enzyme (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) appeared in 1970, when it was revealed that a GST catalyzed the detoxification of the herbicide atrazine by its conjugation to the endogenous tripeptide glutathione (GSH, -L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) in sorghum and maize plants (Frear and Swanson, 1) and the nucleophilic GSH, thus tagging the xenobiotic for vacuolar sequestration (Martinoia et al., 1) (Bartling et al., Figure 1 (B) Nucleophilic addition reaction between cinnamic acid and GSH (Edwards and Dixon, (C) Reduction (detoxification) of fatty acid hydroperoxides to corresponding hydroxy derivatives by the peroxidase activity of GST as described by Bartling et al
