Article Synopsis
- ψ-Glutathione (ψ-GSH) is a new form of glutathione that can be taken orally and doesn't get broken down easily, making it effective as a substitute for traditional glutathione in various bodily functions.
- In preclinical tests, ψ-GSH was evaluated for its potential to treat acetaminophen (APAP) overdoses, comparing its effectiveness to N-acetylcysteine (NAC), the current standard treatment.
- Results indicated that while both treatments are equally effective when given promptly, ψ-GSH maintains some effectiveness even when there’s a delay, and showed no toxicity, suggesting it might be a safer and more effective option than NAC for overdose scenarios.
