Despite their importance in cell homeostasis, the process of OXPHOS generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a by-product, which can damage mitochondrial proteins, lipids, and DNA
When produced excessively, it may suppress the release of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone from the pituitary. 18 It also forces T4 to be converted to reverse T3 (rT3) which actually blocks thyroid function, even though thyroxine levels look adequate when tested. 19 Blood glucose imbalance also triggers cortisol secretion, and insulin resistance may have a direct negative effect on the thyroid, too
The concern lies in the possibility that high doses of glutathione may inadvertently influence uric acid levels, particularly in those who are predisposed to hyperuricemia
