Glutathione is a naturally produced tripeptide made up of three amino acids—glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It has been widely examined in scientific research for its involvement in antioxidant activity, detoxification processes, and the regulation of cellular redox balance across various experimental models. In laboratory research, glutathione is commonly used to study oxidative stress control, free radical neutralization, and the preservation of internal cellular stability. Its chemical structure and biological characteristics remain a key focus in in vitro investigations related to cellular metabolism, signaling mechanisms, and protective responses to oxidative stress.
