  1. 01HumanNon-randomized trialEfficacy outcome

    In diabetic patients and healthy controls, glutathione abolished the circulating ICAM-1 increase during oral glucose testing.

    In plain wordsIn diabetic patients and healthy controls, glutathione prevented the ICAM-1 increase compared with glucose testing alone.

    Summary
    Glutathione administration during the oral glucose tolerance test abolished this phenomenon.
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    During the oral glucose tolerance test, circulating ICAM-1 plasma levels significantly increased in both diabetic and normal subjects.
    Summary · context
    In this study, three different experiments were performed in nine NIDDM patients and in seven matched healthy controls: oral glucose tolerance test, antioxidant glutathione i.v. administration for two h, oral glucose tolerance test plus glutathione i.v. administration.
