What is Glutathione used for in research?

Glutathione (GSH) is studied for its role as the body's primary intracellular antioxidant, its function in redox balance, tyrosinase inhibition pathways relevant to melanogenesis research, and detoxification via conjugation reactions in hepatic models.

Why is reduced (L-Glutathione) form used in research?

The reduced form (GSH) is the biologically active antioxidant species. Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) must be reduced by glutathione reductase before it can participate in redox reactions, so the reduced form is preferred for in-vitro models.

How is Glutathione reconstituted for research use?

Bacteriostatic water is the standard reconstitution solvent. See the Bastion reconstitution protocol guide for vial-specific volumes and storage conditions post-reconstitution.
