Because they're unstable, they can take electrons from other cells or react negatively with the molecules in a cell, setting off a chain reaction that terminates in apoptosis, or cell death.11 Oxidative stress can stem from various causes, such as smoking, drinking, environmental pollution, exposure to sunlight, and mental/physical stress.12 Although the body needs pro-oxidants, they can cause several detrimental health effects when present in overabundance without enough antioxidants to counter them, such as:13 Cancer Rheumatoid arthritis Kidney diseases Cardiovascular diseases Neurological diseases Respiratory diseases Psychological disorders Age-related degeneration Insider Tip: Glutathione is pronounced glu-ta-THI-one, with the stress on the third syllable
Cells were cultured in Dulbeccos modified Eagle medium (DMEM, Gibco) with 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS, Thermo Fisher) and Penicillin/Streptomycin (PenStrep) at 37 C with a 5% CO 2 atmosphere
