Nutrient Deficiencies (Building Blocks Missing) Glutathione synthesis requires specific nutrients: Cysteine : From dietary protein (whey, eggs, poultry)-rate-limiting Glycine : Often deficient in modern diets (need 10-15g/day, most get 3-5g) Selenium : Cofactor for glutathione peroxidase (GPx) , the enzyme that recycles GSSG back to GSH B vitamins (B6, B9, B12): Required for methylation and sulfur metabolism Vitamin C : Recycles oxidized glutathione Deficiency in any of these impairs glutathione production or recycling [5]
Furthermore, other markers including glutathione- S -transferases (GSH), superoxide dismutase, transferrin, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, cystathionine, iron, zinc, magnesium, ceruloplasmin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, ferritin, and SAM did not significantly associate with ASD (Table 1)
