Conclusion: Glutathione is an important antioxidant
Thus, as far as mitochondrial oxidative stress homeostasis is concerned, mGSH is a vital factor maintaining mitochondrial function, controlling cell survival/death, and its depletion causes cell damage and facilitates cell death [57, 59]

Whilst we found that ex vivo vehicle treated cells produced high levels of cytokines, including IL-5, IL-13, IL-9 ( Supplementary Figures 4BD ), and modest amounts of IL-10 and IL-6 ( Supplementary Figures 4E, F ), melatonin treatment greatly reduced the concentration of all cytokines analyzed ( Supplementary Figures 4B F )
6 This suggests that glutathiones antioxidative properties can directly interfere with the viral life cycle, potentially reducing the severity and duration of cold sore outbreaks
