In fasting humans, about half of the cysteine that passes through the blood comes from glutathione (12)
According to (Zhang et al., 2012), oxidative stress, protein oxidation, membrane lipid peroxidation, and liver tissue damage are thought to be the main mediators of APAP-induced liver injury
Taken together, in food systems containing phenolic antioxidants (e.g., quercetin) and proteins (e.g., lactoferrin), MR could enhance antioxidant defense and provide an effective delivery/carrier system to develop nutritional reset strategies to resolve OxS-associated impairments in virus-induced HMRD

Among GSH precursors, cysteine availability is typically rate-limiting due to its low intracellular abundance and susceptibility to oxidation
