Micronutrients & recovery
Reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in serum are increased by Lactobacilli supplementation and mediate the improvement of hepatic mitochondrial function and systemic glucose metabolism.
Lactobacilli supplementation increases serum glutathione, a key antioxidant. This increase helps protect liver mitochondria from damage caused by high sugar/fat diets, thereby improving blood sugar control. This highlights the importance of antioxidant pathways in metabolic health.
Metabolomics analyses revealed that reduced glutathione may mediate these effects.
