Mucolytic properties : Glutathione has mucolytic (mucus-thinning) properties, which can help break down thick mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear and improving lung function
15 Collectively, these events lead to a vicious cycle of persistent inflammation and chronic oxidative stress, which results in protease-anti-protease imbalance, defects in tissue repair mechanisms, accelerated apoptosis in lung cells and progression of COPD
