9 Importantly, the key enzyme of GSH synthesis, gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-synthetase, is already active by the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, suggesting enzymatic immaturity is unlikely to be a primary limiting factor
Therefore, the new spectrofluorimetric assay method for GSH and its associated enzyme using monobromobimane can be an alternative in biochemical studies of drug metabolism and drug toxicity

This detoxification process is particularly critical for individuals exposed to environmental toxins or those with compromised liver function
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in cell signaling, however when the balance between ROS production and consumption is disrupted, it can lead to cell damage
