In recent years we have witnessed an increase in our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for gastrointestinal (GI) integrity, protection and ulcer healing

Iron metabolism: pathophysiology and pharmacology
Research suggests it supports liver detoxification processes by helping the organ process and eliminate toxins more efficiently
The phosphocholine head group in phospholipids of normal healthy cell membranes is not accessible but, when cells are damaged and die, enhanced availability of lysophosphatidylcholine and disruption of the lipid bilayer expose phosphocholine residues to which CRP avidly binds ( In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), there is extensive overproduction of free radicals and reduced extracellular and intracellular GSH leading to oxidative cell damage ( Glutathione is an important antioxidant in the lungs, but its concentration is low in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis, since GSH is transported into the airways by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, which is mutated in cystic fibrosis patients ( An oxidant/antioxidant imbalance characterized by oxidative stress and low GSH levels is involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, since data show marked GSH deficiency in the lower respiratory tract of those patients ( via the airways may be a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( Glutathione and atherosclerosis Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in the US compared to any other cause (151), suggesting that a specific antioxidant/prooxidant imbalance, characterized by a weak GSH-related enzymatic antioxidant shield present in human atherosclerotic lesions, may be involved in atherogenic processes in humans (152)
