Sulfur amino acids (SAAs), such as methionine and cysteine, play a critical role in the maintenance of health. GSH depletion as well as alterations of SAA metabolism are linked to a host of disease states including liver cirrhosis, various pulmonary diseases, myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury, aging, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's diseaseGlutathionePsychological aspectsSulfur amino acidsPsychological aspectsGlutathioneTherapeutic useSulfur amino acidsTherapeutic useGlutathioneMetabolismSulfur amino acidsMetabolismGlutathionePsychological aspects.Sulfur amino acidsPsychological aspects.GlutathioneTherapeutic use.Sulfur amino acidsTherapeutic use.GlutathioneMetabolism.Sulfur amino acidsMetabolism.612.015756612.3/98612.398Masella Roberta887523Mazza G.1946-887524MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139751303321Glutathione and sulfur amino acids in human health and disease1982646UNINA
