However, glutathione levels decrease as you age, and natural production can also be slowed because of disease, medications, stress, trauma, infections, a poor diet, pollution, and radiation
While many of the above treatments tend to induce both GCLC and GCLM expression, we have reported selective induction of only the GCLC subunit at the transcriptional level when cultured rat hepatocytes are treated with insulin, hydrocortisone, or by lowering the initial plating cell density (Lu and Ge 1992a

Studies show that Vitamin B12 deficiency is linked to cognitive decline and mood disorders
Results clearly showed that the tyrosine-nitration level was reduced in proportion to the molar ratios of GSSSG and LASSS relative to HGF, as revealed by the decrease in anti-nitroY mAb-positive HGF (60-kDa -chain and 90-kDa proform) normalized to total HGF -chain as a loading control, that was monitored by stripping with SDS-ME solution and re-probing the blot with anti-HGF -chain N-terminal domain mAb (Figure 1b,c, second and third rows)
