[Therapeutic use of glutathione].
Liver pathology is very frequent in western countries. The numerous therapeutic approaches suggested so far for the prevention or limitation of liver damage in the course of hepatic diseases have often had disappointing results. Considering that at least part of the liver injury is caused by free radicals, the authors have tried an antioxidant, glutathione, as a hepatoprotective agent. Although particularly brilliant results were not achieved, clinical conditions and laboratory findings were improved in hall patients treated with glutathione.
