Effect of increasing glutathione with cysteine and glycine supplementation on mitochondrial fuel oxidation, insulin sensitivity, and body composition in older HIV-infected patients

This study examined the effects of supplementing cysteine and glycine—precursors to glutathione (GSH)—in older HIV-infected men with GSH deficiency. Over 14 days, participants received oral cysteine and glycine supplementation, which restored GSH synthesis. As a result, the study reported significant improvements in both fasting and insulin-stimulated mitochondrial fuel oxidation, insulin

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) effects on HIV replication and host immunity: a randomized placebo-controlled study

The randomized controlled trial titled “Dehydroepiandrosterone supplementation enhances immune function in HIV-positive subjects with undetectable viral load” (Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2007, PMID: 17263636) investigated whether supplementation with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) could influence HIV replication and immune function. The study found that DHEA did not significantly alter viral load or CD4+ T-cell
