What is Glutathione Cycle in Oxidant Injury about?

The document discusses the mechanisms by which oxidants released from stimulated leukocytes injure cells. It examines how external oxidants affect the glutathione-redox system in cells, which is a major cellular defense against oxidants. The study found that cells are able to immediately activate their hexose monophosphate shunt upon exposure to oxidants, maintaining reducing equivalents to keep glutathione in its reduced form when glucose is present.
