Divergent Requirements for Glutathione Biosynthesis During Osteoclast Differentiation In Vitro and In Vivo

Abstract excerpt

Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant antioxidant in the cell, and it is responsible for neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can promote osteoclast differentiation and stimulate bone resorption and are some of the primary drivers of bone loss with aging and loss of sex steroids. Despite this, the role of GSH biosynthesis during osteoclastogenesis remains controversial. Here, we show that the...
