Glutathione (GSH) in human stomach mucosa.
The role of glutathione and its function in patients affected by carcinoma and ulcer was studied. The dramatical decrease of this tripeptide evidenced by the authors, demonstrates its fundamental role in the above mentioned pathologies and permits to formulate a hypothesis of therapeutic presidium for some substances (e.g. cysteine), that showed to be able in recovering normal glutathione levels.
