the metabolic process that forms fat (even from nonfat foods), which increases the amount of triglycerides in the body
The reaction is catalyzed by a family of enzymes called Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), which facilitate a nucleophilic attack, covalently binding the sulfur atom of glutathione directly to the toxic Phase I metabolite

Thus, we found that a distinct subset of proteins are targets for persulfide accumulation in wild-type, GR-null, or TR/GR-null liver samples, suggesting that the persulfide-reducing capacities of the Trx and GSH systems might be protein persulfidespecific and potentially involved in different signaling pathways
Newer oral forms, liposomal ones for instance, absorb better, but intravenous delivery still offers the highest bioavailability, because practically the whole dose reaches the blood
