Interestingly, fibroblast mitochondria from foetuses with DS show an increase in size, breaks in the inner membrane, and alterations in the mitochondrial cristae (Piccoli et al., 2013), evidencing altered mitochondrial morphology (Figure 2)
Moreover, a novel mouse model engineered to have enhanced cholesterol synthesis by SREBP-2 overexpression superimposed to APP/PS1 mutations triggered A accumulation and tau pathology ( in vivo replenishment of mGSH with cell- permeable GSH monoethyl ester (GSHEE) attenuated neuropathological features of AD in SREBP-2/APP/PS1 mice
Glutathione has been shown to enhance the function of T-cells and natural killer cells, both of which are essential for mounting an effective antiviral response (Droge, 2002)
