Understanding the Mechanisms and the Role of Glutathione in Lens Metabolism

glutathione-metabolism-pathway-diagram.png

Electrolyte disturbances which resulted an osmotic imbalances characterized the cataracts. It is important to understand the role glutatione and its enzime co-factors play in the metabolism within the lens. As seen in the figure below, glutathione is composed of the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine and its synthesis within the lens takes place in two steps. The description of this sections are clearly described in this document….

The Vitamin D Metabolism and Calcium Regulation Schematic

This schematic diagram represent cutaneous production of vitamin D and its metabolism and regulation for calcium homeostasis and cellular growth. It is now recognized that everyone is at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency causes muscle weakness, increasing the risk of falling and fractures. Vitamin D deficiency also has other serious consequences on overall health and well-being. …
