The decreased GSH level may be due to increased level of lipid oxidation products which may be associated with the less availability of NADPH required for the activity of glutathione reductase (GR) to transform oxidized glutathione to GSH [67] due to increased production of ROS at a rate exceeding the ability to regenerate GSH
Since the cellular synthesis of glutathione is ATP-dependent, decreased ETC activity also undermines glutathione synthesis, further exacerbating oxidative stress in a vicious cycle [8]
Moreover, careful and comprehensive safety monitoring will be essential in any future clinical trials evaluating (-)-Vestitol, Salviolone, and especially their combination for AD treatment
