A healthy, unstressed cell maintains a vast majority of its glutathione pool in the reduced state, typically sustaining a GSH-to-GSSG ratio of greater than 10:1, and often up to 100:1 in the cytosol
One of the most significantly upregulated pathways in cardiomyocytes from semaglutide-treated animals was BCAA catabolism: nearly every enzyme in this pathway was significantly upregulated, including the two enzymes required to initiate BCAA catabolism, Bcat2 and the BCKD subunits ( Figure 3C-D )
