Glutathione has been dubbed the master antioxidant for its ability to recycle other antioxidants in the body

These findings are consistent with previous studies suggesting that Mel and GSH may prevent structural damage in ovarian histoarchitecture by suppressing oxidative stress.10,11,15-18,21,22 Both Mel and GSH are key endogenous antioxidant molecules that neutralize free radicals and preserve tissue integrity by limiting oxidative stress-induced cellular damage.30,31 It has been previously reported that platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents such as carboplatin increase intracellular ROS production, thereby triggering lipid peroxidation (as indicated by elevated MDA levels), inflammatory responses (increased TNF- and IL-6), cellular damage, and apoptosis.2,7,8 In the current study, the increased immunoreactivity of Caspase-3 and NF-B, along with significantly elevated levels of TNF- and IL-6 in the CARB group, indicate that CARB may have simultaneously activated both apoptotic and inflammatory pathways

As we age, or when we face high stress and environmental pollutants, our natural levels of this master antioxidant tend to drop
