Abstract
The Glutathione Theory of Aging reviews the multiple biological functions of glutathione, including its status as the Master Antioxidant, and its role as a key regulator of detoxification, immune function and anti-viral activity. Sub-optimal glutathione levels are common because many diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors contribute to glutathione depletion, and the body's ability to synthesize glutathione declines as people age. Studies reveal that most age-related chronic degenerative diseases are associated with low glutathione levels. This article also introduces people to Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3, which is a unique strain of probiotic bacteria thar synthesizes glutathione. Boosting glutathione levels is an important proactive step people can take to promote good health and achieve healthy longevity.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
