“We recently showed that DHA upregulates glutathione ( GSH ) content via an induction of its related enzymes γ-glutamylcysteine ligase and glutathione reductase.”
“Investigating the mechanism underlying DHA‐induced apoptosis, we showed that DHA induced a rapid and dramatic (>60%) intracellular depletion of reduced glutathione ( GSH ), without affecting oxidized glutathione (GSSG).”

“ DHA induced low glutathione levels in RBCs, indicating that oxidative stress may be involved in artemisinin toxicity; effects were extremely rapid, with altered RBCs seen as early as GD10.”
“We suggest that DHA plays an important role in inducing an antioxidative defense against active oxygen by enhancing the cerebral activities of CAT, GPx, and GSH.”
“In addition, GSH modulated the cellular redox balance through maintaining increased GSH: GSSG and AsA: DHA ratios, and also increased phytochelatins contents.”
