Glutathione deficiency may promote cancer initiation (by failing to protect DNA from oxidative damage), while elevated glutathione in established tumors may promote cancer progression and treatment resistance (by protecting cancer cells from chemotherapy and radiation) [2][5]
The most relevant research areas include muscle metabolism, bone metabolism, glucose homeostasis, tissue regeneration, glucocorticoid response, cardiovascular function, neuroendocrine tissues, and experimental models evaluating the relationship between GH, IGF-1, ghrelin, and energy regulation
