Mitochondria may be active, but without enough antioxidant support to balance everyday oxidative exposure
As an alternative approach for mucus degradation, proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin, papain and bromelain can break down peptide bonds and cleave non-glycosylated mucin domains 198

For example, a 10 mg vial with 1 mL of water gives 10 mg/mL
Increased mucin secretion, particularly MUC5AC, is associated with asthma, and the mucus plugs generated by the asthmatic airway are hypothesized to be generated by eosinophil peroxidase crosslinking of mucus thiol groups to stiffen the mucus gels and prevent clearance (Dunican et al., 2018a)
The samples were analysed by reversed-phase UPLC (RP-UPLC) at 214 nm and LCMS
