Research has shown it to accelerate tendon, ligament, and muscle repair, reduce inflammation, and support gut integrity
239 Lactobacillus plantarum ZGHY combined with entecavir treatment for 24 weeks in chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis patients effectively increased gut flora diversity, reduced potential pathogens (such as Klebsiella and Enterococcus ), and simultaneously increased beneficial bacteria like Bacteroides , showing a positive role in assisting flora regulation
This protective function is particularly significant as oxidative stress can inhibit cell growth, and the combination of vitamin E with carotenoids prevents the growth inhibition typically caused by increased melanin production 178
Amino acid transport: The gamma-glutamyl cycle uses glutathione to transport amino acids across cell membranes, a process essential for cellular amino acid uptake [2][3]
Amyloid- (A) plaques further exacerbate this process by generating ROS after entering mitochondria through the translocase of the outer membrane, causing mitochondrial dysfunction (Kang et al., 2009
