These are not temporary effects
In the early stages of DKD, increased hyper-reabsorption and gluconeogenesis expose proximal tubular cells to hypoxia, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, increased oxidative stress and tubular injury ( Mitochondria is the primary organelle of in PTECs that is modulated to oxidative stress and hypoxic injury in the diabetic state ( Although there are a large number of in vitro and in vivo studies investigating the mechanism of hypoxia-induced renal tubular damage, due to the lack of non-invasive means, there are few clinical studies that have evaluated renal hypoxia in detail
The observed increase in the respiratory reserve capacity and levels of mitochondrial enzymes observed in our system is consistent with this model, supporting the interpretation that mitochondrial remodeling is a tightly regulated early event aligned with the increasing energetic and biosynthetic demands of developing neurons

When glutathione levels are adequate, they may provide many health benefits, such as ( 1 , 2 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ): greater protection against oxidative stress/cell damage by free radicals improved insulin sensitivity stronger immune function may reduce respiratory symptoms from respiratory disease/illness (e.g., cystic fibrosis, COPD) reduced risk of chronic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, neurodegenerative disease) liver detoxification (e.g., drug metabolism) may improve dermatological issues (e.g., psoriasis, eczema) delayed cellular aging greater skin elasticity and strength Though, it is important to note that future research is needed to understand the role of glutathione and NAC supplementation and its effect on disease severity and prevention
