谷胱甘肽(L-Glutathione,Gluthione-SH,GSH)是一种广泛分布的三肽类化合物,临床用其还原型,故亦称还原型谷胱甘肽(Atomolan)。虽然它的存在早就为人们所了解,但对其广泛研究还是近年来的事。 Atomolan内具有活性巯基,能参于细胞内的氧化还原反应。当它被氧化时,二分子还原型谷胱甘肽结合成一分子氧化型谷胱甘肽, 所以在正常情况下,GSH能将体内形成的氧化物(如正常代谢过程中不断产生的过氧化 Glutathione (Glutathione, Glutathione-SH, GSH) is a widely distributed tripeptide that has been clinically used for its reduction. It is also known as reduced form glutathione (Atomolan). Although its existence has long been known to the people, its extensive study is still a matter of recent years. Atomolan has an active thiol group, can participate in intracellular redox reactions. When it is oxidized, the two-molecule reduced glutathione binds to one molecule of oxidized glutathione, so that under normal conditions, GSH can oxidize the body of the formation of oxides (such as the ongoing normal metabolism of peroxidation
