Hepatitis, alcoholism, and fatty liver can all damage liver cells.
A small clinical trial in 2017 concluded that glutathione can help treat non-alcoholic fatty liver due to its antioxidant properties and detoxification potential.
The researchers pointed out that larger studies are needed to confirm this effect.
Insulin resistance can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. The production of insulin allows the body to transfer glucose (sugar) from the blood to the cells, where it is used as energy.
A small study in 2018 showed that people with insulin resistance tend to have lower glutathione levels, especially if they experience complications such as neuropathy or retinopathy. A 2013 study reached a similar conclusion.
Free radicals may cause aging and certain diseases. Antioxidants help fight free radicals and protect the body from their damaging effects.
Glutathione is a very powerful antioxidant, partly because high concentrations of glutathione can be found in every cell of the body.
Some studies have shown that glutathione has the effect of preventing cancer progression.
However,the same research shows that glutathione may make tumors less sensitive to chemotherapy,which is a common cancer treatment.
More research is needed to determine the effect of glutathione on cancer.
There is evidence that glutathione levels in children with autism are lower than those with neurotypical or non-autistic children.
In 2011, researchers discovered that oral glutathione supplements or injections may reduce some of the effects of autism. However, the team did not specifically look at the children's symptoms for any improvement, so further research is needed to determine this effect.
Like other inflammatory diseases, ulcerative colitis is associated with oxidative damage and stress.
An animal study in 2003 showed that supplementation of glutathione can improve certain damage to the colon of rats.
More human studies are needed to determine the effect of glutathione on ulcerative colitis.
According to some credible sources of research, there is evidence that maintaining glutathione levels may help relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
These findings seem to support injectable glutathione as a potential therapy, but there is little evidence for oral supplements. Further research is needed to support its use.
