Gut microbiota, glutathione, type 2 diabetes link - elte - Nov 18, 2015
http://m.phys.org/news/2015-11-gut-microbiota-antioxidant-metabolism.html "A recently published study shows that gut microbiota regulates the glutathione and amino acid metabolism of the host. Glutathione is a key antioxidant, found in every cell in our body. Deficiency of glutathione contributes to oxidative stress, which plays a major role in several lifestyle diseases."
