Healthcare providers may order laboratory tests including complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and iron studies for patients with risk factors or symptoms suggesting deficiencies
Our previous data also suggests that maternal SE impairs brain mitochondrial levels of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes in male offspring with reduced endogenous antioxidant capacity from birth (Chan et al., Furthermore, as SE offspring have reduced brain antioxidants and increased cellular oxidative damage (Chan et al., 2015) and can provide neuroprotection by elevating brain antioxidant capacity in aging rats (Juliet et al., 2015)

GSH serves as an electron donor to reduce ROS and is oxidized into glutathione disulfide (GSSG)
This improves glucose uptake in muscle cells and regulates glucose levels, which enhances insulin action and reduces markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, factors associated with diabetes
