Physiological Functions of Glutathione and Its Application in Livestock and Poultry Production
Reduced glutathione(GSH),as the most abundance endogenous antioxidant molecule in organism,its metabolic process played an important role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and stress defense mechanisms,involved in organism metabolism and influence on animal physiological and pathological progress.The paper reviews on the function mechanism of GSH on metabolism,antioxidant,immune,detoxication,nu-trient metabolism and microbial regulation,as well as its research and application progress on livestock and poultry breeding,aims to further explore regulatory mechanism and provide the reference for development and application of GSH in livestock and poultry production.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(12):7481-7492]
