Glutathione's role as the cell's master antioxidant and as a cofactor in hepatic detoxification is well established at the biochemical level it neutralizes free radicals and participates directly in the liver's clearance of toxins and heavy metals
Certain unknown factors involved in the whole pathway should be further investigated

Retained food during esophagogastroduodenoscopy is a risk factor for gastric-to-pulmonary aspiration
For redox metabolism we investigated total (tGSH) and free (fGSH) reduced glutathione, oxidized glutathione (GSSG), the total and free glutathione redox ratios, total cysteine, glutamyl-cysteine and cysteinyl-glycine
The challenge lies in identifying what's actually causing the problem
