Small Molecular Metabolite Targets for Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis Previous research has shown that small molecular metabolites, like PGs, LTs, LXs, PAF, ROS, and NO, support to induce, maintain, or relieve inflammation in RA ( Table 2 )
[12] For total GST activity, CDNB is widely used as a general substrate, although it does not measure every GST isoform equally
Notably, BPC 157 may scavenge reactive oxygen species due to its structure: it contains four carboxylic groups, and when they are reactivated (by glutathione or enzymes), the antioxidant activity is very high
NADH electrons can be efficiently utilized to reduce oxaloacetate (OAA) to malate via cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (encoded by the MDH1 gene)
Yet, other research suggests that taking glutathione orally can indeed raise the levels of this essential antioxidant in your body
