[46] Autism [edit] According to Quackwatch, autism is one of the conditions for which chelation therapy has been falsely promoted as effective, and practitioners falsify diagnoses of metal poisoning to trick parents into having their children undergo the risky process
Strategies that deplete GSH, such as using inhibitors like BSO which is inhibitor of -glutamylcysteine synthetase (-GCS) , the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione (GSH) synthesis or by combining prodrug activation with GSH depletion in nanosystems, have shown promise in overcoming MDR and improving chemotherapy effectiveness [72]
Using advanced tracer methodologies, the researchers identified a fascinating metabolic phenomenon they termed "brain glucose steal." Due to systemic mitochondrial impairment, non-brain organs were essentially stealing glucose intended for the central nervous system, starving the brain of energy and driving cognitive dysfunction
