Glutathione rescues homocystine-induced endothelial dysfunction

This is a perfect example of why a natural approach can be so effective. Any natural approach to cardiovascular disease is going to take homocysteine into account an ensure adequate intake of folic acid, Vit B6 and Vit B12. In addition, antioxidant therapy to include high intakes of Vit C and fresh fruits and veggies would also be a part of this plan. This study suggests that, in the presence of high levels of homocysteine, high levels of glutathione peroxidase (an enzyme that quenches free radicals) may counteract the damage that would otherwise have occurred. High levels of Vit C are known to regenerate glutathione levels.
