Diseases associated with low glutathione levels

 Low glutathione levels have been associated with several other conditions, including:

 

-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Glutathione depletion can lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to fatigue and other symptoms associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

 

-Autoimmune disorders: Low glutathione levels may contribute to increased oxidative stress and inflammation, which may play a role in the development and progression of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.

 

-Neurological disorders: Depleted glutathione levels have been observed in individuals with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders, suggesting a role in the pathogenesis of these conditions.

 

-Cancer: Altered glutathione metabolism has been observed in several types of cancer, and glutathione is involved in the regulation of cell growth and cell death.

 

-Cardiovascular disease: Low glutathione levels may contribute to oxidative stress and inflammation, which are implicated in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and heart failure.
