Competition for Glutathione and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
publication date: Jun 24, 2011
The immune system and muscle tissue compete for glutathione (GSH); the immune system uses it to protect the lympocytes from the oxidation they use to destroy pathogens, and muscle uses it to protect the mitochondria and the cellular DNA from the reactive oxygen species that result from exercise. When you over exercise, you deplete the GSH that is available to the immune system. So, you may get sick. When you get an infection, you deplete the GSH available to your muscle and you get fatigued.
