2020, Free Radical Biology and MedicineCitation Excerpt :A single cross-sectional study examining GSH levels in healthy young vs. elderly humans revealed decreased GSH concentrations in the occipital cortex (OCC) [25]. Depletion of brain GSH has been demonstrated to disrupt short-term spatial recognition, learning and memory and cognitive flexibility in rodents [26,27] and to exacerbate stroke infarct size in mice [16] and in humans [28]. Furthermore, deficits in brain GSH concentrations are associated with increases in oxidative damage [20,23], impaired ability to quench and export toxins [16,28], neuroinflammation [29] and increased NO˙ toxicity and neuronal cell death [30,31].
