How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Added extracellular glutathione reduced injury from allicin in Human A549/Beas-2B epithelial cultures.
Experimental context and source evidence
- evidence_access
- Primary full text available; selected claim-relevant methods, results, tables/figures and limitations reviewed. Supplemental proteome and all secondary findings are not exhaustively extracted.
- experimental_condition
- Same allicin exposure without added GSH present · Allicin Condition belongs to the full experimental contrast; do not separate a joint intervention.
- experimental_condition
- Same allicin exposure without added GSH added extracellularly · GSH Condition belongs to the full experimental contrast; do not separate a joint intervention.

**Laboratory antimicrobial activity.** Purified allicin inhibited multiple tested respiratory bacterial isolates, including some resistant to clinical antibiotics; susceptibility varied by organism and assay. The same investigation measured mammalian-cell and rat-lung-slice toxicity. Added glutathione reduced toxicity in those models. The experimental 1-mM glutathione condition must not be presented as a validated normal plasma concentration or a safe inhalation regimen. Luminal or surface accessibility is a hypothesis about delivery, not a calculation proving efficacy from nominal dose divided by fluid volume.
