A recent study demonstrated the ability of a dendrimer-conjugated NAC (D-NAC) to specifically target glial and astrocyte cells, indicating potential to alter GSH levels in specific cell populations without altering levels throughout the CNS ( One of the most well-established properties of GSH is its role in maintaining redox homeostasis, but it is also emerging as a mediator of redox signaling through mechanisms such as protein S-glutathionylation and/or GSNO-mediated protein S-nitrosylation (Zhang and Forman, 2012)
Effects in active malignancy are not well characterized, and most clinicians treat this as an exclusion until more data exists
Standard dosing ranges from 2-5mg administered subcutaneously two to three times weekly

thereby, making the cell more resistant to intrinsic or extraneous stressors
When you take glutathione intravenously through IV infusion therapy, though, it goes right into the bloodstream
