Tissue glutathione levels tend to decline with age, a phenomenon that may reflect declining function of Nrf2-mediated induction of phase 2 enzymes (including glutamate cysteine ligase), as well as lower tissue levels of cysteine and glycine.9,18-20 Phase 2 inducer nutraceuticals such as lipoic acid can be used to compensate for this decline in Nrf2 activity.18 An epidemiologic analysis found that while relatively low protein intakes predicted lower subsequent mortality in subjects 65 years

Supersulfides Regulate Oxidative Distress by Modulating Proteins Cysteine thiols in proteins are the primary targets for modification by oxidants and electrophilic agents, allowing them to serve as redox switches to control the structure and/or function of redox-regulated proteins [68,69,70]
