Although the direct association between HCV and apoptosis remains controversial, HCV-induced oxidative stress has been reported to enhance apoptosis 106,107
Known as the bodys master antioxidant, glutathione plays a vital role in cellular health, detoxification, and disease prevention
Maintaining an optimal level of glutathione appears to be important for supporting cognitive function, especially during aging.* The normal process of aging is associated with a decrease in glutathione activity, which can result in increased oxidative activity.* Less than an optimum level of glutathione is observed in individuals experiencing a decline in cognitive function.* Conversely, individuals who live to 100 tend to have higher glutathione activity.*
A good example of this is the common cold, where the symptoms appear and disappear relatively quickly with no long-lasting health problems
Ultimately, additional studies would need to be undertaken to identify how to optimize screening and interventions for patients as well as to provide larger population-wide data on total GSH levels, reduced to oxidized GSH levels, as well as GGT
