SUPPLEMENTATION WITH N-ACETYL-CYSTEINE (NAC) INCREASES THE AMOUNTS OF γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cystein-yl-glycine, WHICH REDUCES THE AMOUNTS OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES (ROS) IN NORMAL CELLS AND IS EFFECTIVE IN THE PREVENTION OF CANCER

The aim of this study is to mention the effectiveness of Glutathione supplementation for the prevention of cancer. Glutathione (GSH) is an important antioxidant in plants, animals, fungi, and some bacteria and archaea. As we mentioned in our several researches, the prime cause of cancer is increasing the amounts of ROS in cells which damage the mitochondrial cristae and also due to the butterfly effect, it causes the cells to become cancerous instead of apoptosis. The studies in humans and mice shows the relation between increasing the amounts of GSH in vivo and in vitro, and decreasing ROS level in cells.
