Free radicals are involved in the processes leading to cancer.
Unfortunately, Glutathione, which could normally help mount a defense against the free radicals, is often depleted in patients with cancer.
In one study of 52 bladder cancer patients and 24 healthy adult controls, levels of malondialdehyde, a free-radical promoting substance, were significantly higher and Glutathione levels significantly lower in cancer patients compared to controls.
In other studies of lung6 and breast cancer levels of glutathione-dependent enzymes were markedly altered, depending on the disease stage.
Animal studies also have indicated that Glutathione deficiency is linked to DNA damage.By Kimberly Pryor
