Melatonin administration lowers biomarkers of oxidative stress and cardio-metabolic risk in type 2 diabetic patients with coronary heart disease: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Because GSH status is dynamic, the outcome measures were extended beyond GSH status alone to include 8-OHdG and F2-isoprostanes (F2-isoP), in case a change in oxidation status was exemplified by evidence of reduced oxidation products rather than a change in GSH or GSH:GSSG ratio (i.e., improvement in tissue-level oxidative stress not represented by RBC indices)
It is important for cells to use these antioxidant defense mechanisms to regulate ROS levels to avoid oxidative stress
Certain conditions may require adjustments in dosage or the best form, such as glutathione sublingual or IV therapy
