ROS and oxidatively modified macromolecules function as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), engaging pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on microglia, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs), to initiate inflammatory cascades ( Microglia, the resident immune cells of the CNS, are tightly regulated under physiological conditions to maintain neural homeostasis
Men are also more likely to develop conditions associated with reduced glutathione or higher oxidative stress, including, More visceral fat than women, which drives insulin resistance 49 Higher rates of sleep apnea, another contributor to oxidative stress 50 Cardiovascular disease, which occurs about 710 years earlier in men than in women on average 51 As estrogen declines through perimenopause and menopause for womenand remains lower in men overalldifferences in glutathione activity likely reflect hormonal influence as much as sex-based biology, Tennant says
