Loss-of-function mutations or downregulation of genes encoding arGSTs result in strongly decreased accumulation of anthocyanins ( 1 ) in a wide range of plants 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28 , including reduced fruit colouration in cultivated Fragaria vesca (strawberry) through transient knock-down of reduced anthocyanins in petioles ( RAP ) 20 or white Prunus persica (peach) flowers caused by an arGST encoding regulator involved in anthocyanin transport ( Riant ) gene with a 2 bp insertion leading to a premature stop codon 21
Glutathione is particularly active in tissues that are more susceptible to oxidative and environmental stress, including: Liver Brain Kidneys Heart Lungs Skin Intestinal lining Eyes (retina and cornea) Glutathione The Master Antioxidant Glutathione is often referred to as the master antioxidant because of its unique role in helping to regenerate and recycle other key antioxidants, including: Vitamin C Vitamin E CoQ10 By supporting this antioxidant network, glutathione plays a central role in maintaining overall antioxidant balance within the body
