It plays a crucial role in fighting free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, and balancing melanin production the pigment responsible for skin color
NAD+ supports deep cellular repair, energy production, and long-term resilience, while glutathione helps with detoxification, inflammation control, and antioxidant defence
Both pump systems are ATP-dependent and are inhibited by vanadate but differ in that P-glycoprotein appears to have specificity towards hydrophobic compounds whereas the glutathione S-conjugate carrier is as its name suggests specific for leukotrienes and drug-glutathione conjugates

FIGURE 4 4.2 Enhanced CDT and ferroptotic therapy In the past few decades, CDT has become an emerging invasive TME-responsive cancer treatment based on Fenton or a Fenton-like reaction, which uses transition metal (including Fe, Mn, and Cu) to convert endogenous abundant H 2 O 2 into highly toxic OH, contributing to irreversible cellular damage
This association depends on different reasons: the overexpression of ACE2 receptor in individuals with diabetes, comorbidities such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease, obesity, and pro-inflammatory state (Apicella et al
