[The use of glutathione as a protector agent in hypoxic exposure]
Abstract:
The antihypoxic effect of glutathione was studied in a pressure chamber of acute hypoxic hypoxia and in the perfused heart of non-inbred rats. The body's natural metabolite glutathione was found to show the properties of an active antihypoxant, a protector of energy action. The mechanism of this action of glutathione may be associated with decreased hyper-recovery of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and with its restored capacity to synthesize ATP at the first point of oxidative phosphorylation.

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
