Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease and can lead to the onset of gastric cancer.
Previous studies have shown that H. pylori infection causes increased production of reactive oxygen species within the gastric mucosa, possibly leading to the H. pylori associated diseases. One group of researchers, after reviewing the medical literature, proposed that the severity of inflammation and damage associated with H. pylori infection is dependent on stomach cells’ ability to counteract the increased reactive oxygen species load.
They hypothesized that Glutathione availability is important in mounting an adequate defense against the reactive oxygen species generated by the H. pylori infection.
The researchers suggested that increasing Glutathione availability could provide a novel method for preventing or reducing the damage caused by Helicobacter pylori. By Kimberly Pryor
