Laboratory studies have extensively characterized glutathione's role in phase II metabolism, where it conjugates with reactive drug metabolites and environmental toxicants via glutathione S-transferases, a pathway central to pharmacology and toxicology research
a review of the laboratory evidence for effects with corroborative clinical findings
