Current research directions include investigations into glutathione's potential roles in neurodegenerative disease prevention and progression, cardiovascular disease risk modification, metabolic syndrome and diabetes management, cancer prevention and potentially as adjunct to certain cancer therapies, liver disease including fatty liver and cirrhosis, respiratory conditions including COPD and asthma, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, and healthy aging and longevity optimization
Although TZDs can increase body weight, weight gain mostly occurs in subcutaneous fat, while visceral fat, which is closely related to metabolic disorders, does not increase or even decreases
