glutathione's antioxidant activity may dampen this response Mechanism 4: Thyroid Hormone Metabolism Support Thyroid hormone conversion - the transformation of inactive T4 (thyroxine) to active T3 (triiodothyronine) - is performed by iodothyronine deiodinase enzymes (DIO1, DIO2, DIO3), which are selenoproteins that depend on the glutathione/thioredoxin antioxidant system for their activity and regeneration
