"...
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine that contains an unusual γ-peptide bond between glutamate and cysteine (Fig. 1). Such a bond prevents GSH from being hydrolyzed by most peptidases. GSH is less easily oxidized than its precursors, cysteine and γ-glutamylcysteine."

"These data suggested the tissues with low GSH concentration are highly vulnerable to MCLR toxicity and GSH was critical for the detoxification in MCLR-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo."
GSH = Glutathione and MCLR = microcystin-leucine-arginine ... (MCLR)-induced hepatotoxicity

Highlights
•
The consumption of alcoholic beverages injures the liver through concurrent tissue oxidation and suppression of reduced glutathione synthesis, activity, and recycling.•
The acute consumption of any ethanol will increase the level of hepatic oxidative stress.•
Ethanol potentiates the hepatic oxidative stress–steatosis–hepatitis–fibrosis–cirrhosis–carc inoma transformative continuum.•
Even an acute single episode of ethanol consumption initiates metabolic pathways that achieve ultimate expression as hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis.•
In the absence of abstinence, increasing hepatic antioxidant capacity may reduce the severity of ethanol-associated hepatic injury and its consequences.
