Abstract:
Sepsis remains a formidable challenge in healthcare, characterized by a dysregulated host response to infection, leading to organ dysfunction and high mortality rates. Glutathione, a critical antioxidant and regulator of cellular redox balance, has emerged as a key player in the pathophysiology of sepsis. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted role of glutathione in sepsis, focusing on its involvement in oxidative stress, immune modulation, and organ dysfunction. Glutathione depletion exacerbates oxidative damage and inflammatory responses, thereby contributing to the progression of sepsis. Understanding the intricate mechanisms underlying glutathione dysregulation in sepsis offers potential therapeutic avenues, with strategies targeting glutathione pathways showing promise in mitigating septic complications. However, further research is needed to optimize therapeutic approaches and identify biomarkers for patient stratification. Overall, this review underscores the importance of elucidating glutathione's role in sepsis management to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the global burden of this life-threatening condition.
