However, future prospective randomized, controlled trials are needed to explore the role of natural bioactive compounds as well as their supplements on health status, lung function and risk of COPD development
A recent study also demonstrated mislocalization of APE1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm as a possible trigger of oxidative DNA damage in spinal motor neurons expressing mutant SOD1 G93A , despite upregulation of multiple DNA repair enzymes, suggesting that restricted localization of APE1 could inhibit redox homeostasis (Li J
The activation of macrophages within plaques is driven by a complex interplay of pro-inflammatory signals, oxidative stress, and maladaptive immune responses, creating a vicious cycle of inflammation and tissue damage

As a direct antioxidant, GSH quenches reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and lipid peroxyl radicals, and regenerates oxidised vitamin E and vitamin C back to their active reduced forms placing GSH at the hub of the broader cellular antioxidant network
