Another study in 2013 indicated that oral administration of the total flavonoids (TFs) from Rosa laevigata Michx fruit decreased blood lipid and glucose levels and ameliorated hepatic fat accumulation through suppressing fatty acid synthesis, promoting fatty acid b-oxidation together with resisting oxidant stress and protecting mitochondria, indicating that TFs provides novel therapeutic potential against HFD-induced NAFLD (Zhang et al., 2013)
Chemical properties Chemical Name: L--glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine Molecular Formula: C10H17N3O6S CAS: 70-18-8 (reduced form) Molecular Weight: 307.32 g/mol Biological Significance Antioxidant Protection In our daily lives, the body constantly produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals, which attack cell membranes, proteins, and DNA, causing oxidative stress, accelerating aging, or triggering diseases
