In a clinical trial of people with Type 2 Diabetes, a group known to be deficient in glutathione, liposomal glutathione was given for three months
T cells from mice immunized to TPO react strongly to TPO sequence 540-559, and when immunized with this peptide, develop hypothyroidism and thyroiditis
When glutathione levels are sufficient, they can protect against the damaging effects of oxidative stress on the heart and blood vessels
Additionally, in vitro models derived from different species, such as rats and rabbits, complicate the extrapolation of results to human clinical conditions due to interspecies differences
For every patient who took glutathione, their symptoms improved, proving that glutathione may be used in conjunction with known therapies like medicines
