The Role of Natural Antioxidants Against Reactive Oxygen Species Produced by Cadmium Toxicity: A Review

This review article explores the mechanisms by which cadmium (Cd) induces oxidative stress and evaluates the potential protective roles of natural antioxidants. Cd exposure disrupts cellular redox homeostasis through the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to damage in lipids, proteins, and DNA. The review highlights natural antioxidant

Impact of Supplementary Amino Acids, Micronutrients, and Overall Diet on Glutathione Homeostasis

This systematic review evaluates how supplementation with glutathione (GSH) precursor amino acids—particularly cysteine, glycine, and glutamate—as well as non-precursor amino acids, micronutrients (such as vitamins C and E), and overall dietary patterns influence glutathione homeostasis and antioxidant defense. Because orally consumed GSH is inefficiently absorbed due to intestinal degradation, enhancing
