If this continues consistently, it can cause the brain to age and can increase the risk of conditions such as: Parkinsons disease Huntingtons disease Alzheimers disease Studies suggest that individuals with these conditions have lower glutathione levels, leading many to believe that sufficient glutathione levels can delay the onset of these conditions (2)
However, a dysregulated increase in the level of these free radicals, as seen in mitochondrial diseases, can result in oxidative damage by overwhelming the cellular antioxidant defence mechanism, of which glutathione is the principal component [4]
