New Test For Mysterious Metabolic Diseases
....................The team saw that levels of glutathione, the body's primary antioxidant, were significantly reduced in white blood cells from the 20 mitochondrial disease patients in the study. The observation means patients' antioxidant defenses were indeed depleted. Glutathione was also diminished in nine patients with organic acidemias, another group of metabolic diseases that researchers think may be associated with aberrant mitochondrial function.
A second finding gave the researchers a big hint about where to hunt for treatments. Patients taking antioxidant supplements did not have depleted glutathione, they found. Scientists have long suspected antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E might help patients with mitochondrial disease or organic acidemias, and doctors sometimes suggest the supplements to their patients................................
