Future investigations will elucidate the molecular mechanism of glutamine addiction by identifying the death pathways activating during the impairment of glutamine catabolism or when glutamine is limited
Systematic reviews of clinical studies show that IV and oral glutathione have promising effects on skin lightening and oxidative balance, although more long-term data are still needed
