It also helps maintain glutathione in its active form, supporting normal recycling processes within cells
This review traces the milestones in the development of these sulfur-containing biomolecules from their initial discovery to their clinical applications and describes in detail the structure, physiochemical properties, metabolism, sulfide signaling pathway, physiopathological functions, and assays of sulfur-containing biomolecules
