Low GSH in aging is associated with lower intake of GSH precursors, mainly cysteine, and lower GSH synthesis evidencing diminished function of nuclear factor erythroid 2related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent inductive mechanisms that enhance glutamate cysteine ligase expression, rate limiting factor for the synthesis of GSH (McCarty and DiNicolantonio, 2015)

However, the main muscle anabolic effects of GH are believed to be indirectvia inducing the hepatic generation of IGF-1 triggering the IGF-1-Akt-mTOR pathway
Bearing that in mind, we can see this as a rather weak antioxidant
