Some mothers use glutathione for skin-lightening purposes or to treat specific medical conditions
The research base for this specific application remains more limited than therapeutic uses
Suppression of synaptic activity was achieved by changing cultured cells into serum-free base-medium (10% minimum essential media (MEM, Life Technologies) and 90% saltglucoseglycine (SGG) containing in mM: 114 NaCl, NaHCO3, 5.292 KCl, 1 MgCl2, 2 CaCl2, 10 HEPES, 1 Glycine, 30 Glucose, 0.5 sodium pyruvate, 0.1% Phenol Red) with 100 nM tetradotoxin (TTX, Tocris) on DIV9 for 24 h to inhibit neuronal action potential firing

Beyond its role as a protector, glutathione also helps regenerate other essential antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E
