While OS plays a major role in the pathogenesis of male infertility (24), it is equally important to recognize the critical physiological roles of ROS in normal reproductive functions
TXNRDs catalyze the reduction of a wide range of substrates, including thioredoxin and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) (see Figure 2b )
Caution is advised when combined with ACEinhibitors, as DSIP is rapidly degraded by aminopeptidases Potential side effects include injection site irritation, headache, vivid dreams, and hormonerelated effects
For patients with complex chronic illnesses who often suffer from chemical sensitivities, mold toxicity, or a high allostatic load, supporting this Phase II detoxification pathway with L-glutathione is essential for reducing systemic toxic burden and lowering overall inflammation
