Published in the journal ATHEROSCLEROSIS
We are proud to announce the publication of an article in the journal ATHEROSCLEROSIS regarding a study done on our liposomal glutathione (LG). The study was conducted at the prestigious Lipid Research Laboratory, Technion Faculty of Medicine at the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Israel.
The study shows that LG has impressive antioxidant properties. This was determined by its ability to inhibit the progression of oxidation of both LDL and HDL cholesterol in an in-vitro model using cholesterol from human blood and exposed to an oxidizing metal.
Then the study looked at ApoE-deficient mice. These mice have become one of the standard animal models used to research atherosclerosis because they have very high levels of cholesterol and oxidative stress.
The study mice were fed LG for two months. During this time the levels of cholesterol decreased by about 20%.
LG ingestion in this mouse model not only resulted in the significant reduction in cholesterol levels, it slowed cholesterol biosynthesis and increased release of HDL cholesterol from macrophages, resulting in significant slowing of the atherosclerotic process.
