It plays a critical role in cellular detoxification, immune function, and protection against oxidative stress
Despite these differences, research has shown that even low doses of ionizing radiation produce cellular responses (double stranded breaks, free radical formation, lipid peroxidation, cellular necrosis, apoptosis) that are analogous, albeit smaller, than larger radiation doses [58]
Strikingly, the study revealed that the immune cells of these patients act as an "energy sink." In a desperate attempt to survive the overwhelming oxidative stress, the immune cells upregulate their own intracellular glutathione production
Sucic et al., 2019), and in particular, BPC 157 consistently decreased elevated MDA values, while MDA itself, owing to its high cytotoxicity and inhibitory action on protective enzymes, is suggested to act as a tumor promoter and a cocarcinogenic agent (Seven et al., 1999
