Glutathione deficiency in cardiac patients is related to the functional status and structural cardiac abnormalities.

Glutathione deficiency in cardiac patients is related to the functional status and structural cardiac abnormalities.

BACKGROUND: The tripeptide glutathione (L-gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) is essential to cell survival, and deficiency in cardiac and systemic glutathione relates to heart failure progression and cardiac remodelling in animal models. Accordingly, we investigated cardiac and blood glutathione leve...
