The expanded model shows astrocytic production of glutamine (pathway 1), its transfer to glutamatergic neurons (without indication of any extracellular space, because there is no other function for extracellular glutamine than astrocyte-to-neuron transfer) and extracellular release as the transmitter glutamate (pathway 2), and subsequent reuptake of glutamate and oxidative metabolism in astrocytes (pathway 3), with connections between pathways 1 and 3 shown as pathway 4
The Absorption Challenge The biggest hurdle with glutathione is that it is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb in standard pill form

The negative consequences of oxidized glutathione are also evident from studies showing that infusion of reduced glutathione during early reperfusion can completely eliminate the incidence of ventricular fibrillation in the isolated heart [2]
When applied topically, they are thought to interact with the skin in ways that support normal skin processes
