Pathogenesis of Glutathione Deficiency and Apoptosis: AIDS (Slide 1)
“Glutathione Deficiency is Associated with Impaired Survival in HIV Disease.” (Title of Article from Stanford)
“The crucial connection revealed here between GSH deficiency and survival in HIV disease was foreshadowed by several studies.”
Survival in all HIV+: GSB? 0.91 = 90%, GSB? 0.91 = 32%.
Survival in CD4 ? 200: GSB? 1.05 = 87%, GSB? 1.05 = 17%.
