glutathione s transferase fusion protein S-Transferase (GST) Glutathione S-transferase - Wikipedia

This crucial phase of the malady, in analogy with other viral infections and to a widely accepted pharmacological praxis, should be timely treated either with etiotropic drugs (which in COVID-19 case are still lacking) as well as with host-directed agents to manage/prevent the symptoms (Sestili and Stocchi, 2020)

Also glutathione blocks the oxidative stress

Notably clinical studies carried out in 1997 directly demonstrated that low GSH levels in CD4 T cells predict poor survival in otherwise indistinguishable HIV-infected subjects ( N -acetyl cysteine restored GSH blood levels, suggesting the use of this drug for HIV treatment and improving survival

Using erastin-treated A549 cells, we measured intracellular Fe 2+ , ROS, lipid peroxide, glutathione, glutamate release into the extracellular space, and cystine uptake
