Detailed 5-PT synthetic procedure The detailed synthetic procedure and full chemical characterization of 5-PT are shown in Scheme 1, as previously described 18,28

The highest concentrations of glutathione are in the liver, which makes sense since the liver uses glutathione to detoxify harmful substances and support the immune system

This proton pumping creates a proton-motive force consisting of electrical and proton gradients

Figure 3 shows the concentration of GSH and other metabolites in our model liver cell during a fasting experiment over a 48 hour period

If one does not have sufficient selenium, then the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX) cannot properly function
