Healthy cells maintain GSH:GSSG ratios above 100:1
The cells appeared ordered with the organelles appearing almost normal under a transmission electron microscope with the collagen fibers arranged relatively regularly as compared to the model control group where the collagen fibers were irregular and disordered with the organelles being malformed (Li et al., 2012)
It is the cellular fuel that powers your mitochondriathe engines of your cells
To consider the dose- and time-dependency of the model, we also tested a low dose of 10 ng h 1 for 9 days (low dose, longer time), 100 ng h 1 for 3 days (high dose, shorter time) and an acute treatment for 24 h (3 1.5 g, every 8 h)
