Lipoic acid might be able to increase glutathione synthesis in aged rats by up-regulating the expression of -glutamylcysteine ligase (-GCL), the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione synthesis (31), and by increasing cellular uptake of cysteine, an amino acid required for glutathione synthesis (32)
This enhanced absorption ensures higher intracellular levels of glutathione, maximizing its antioxidant, immune-boosting, and detoxification benefits
