TLDR
Study of normal and cataractous human lenses showed that their glutathione content is age-dependent, decreasing steadily from about 3.5mumol/g of lens at age 20 years to about 1.8mumols/g at age 65 years.Abstract:
Protein-bound glutathione was identified and measured in normal and cataractous human lenses. In a major group of cataracto us lenses the bound glutathione concentration was higher than normal. Study of normal lenses showed that their glutathione content is age-dependent, decreasing steadily from about 3.5mumol/g of lens at age 20 years to about 1.8mumol/g of lens at age 65 years. Cataract brings further decreases.read more

TL;DR: The present report highlights and integrates the growing connections between imbalances in GSH homeostasis and a multitude of human diseases and suggests the high GSH content makes cancer cells chemoresistant, which is a major factor that limits drug treatment.

TL;DR: A GSH-depletion model of neurodegenerative disorders is provided, experimental verifications of this model are suggested, and potential therapeutic approaches for preventing or halting these diseases are proposed.

TL;DR: By applying this method to bovine chymotrypsinogen A, it was found that the half-cystine residues were linked 1-122, 42-58, 136-201, 168-182 and 191-220, which reveals the way in which the cysteic acid peptides were originally joined in the protein.

TL;DR: It is suggested that protein bound glutathione may represent a reservoir of physiological radiation protector and be of significance or the radio protective action of cysteamine.
