The antihypoxic effect of glutathione was studied in a pressure chamber of acute hypoxic hypoxia and in the perfused heart of non-inbred rats. The body's natural metabolite glutathione was found to show the properties of an active antihypoxant, a protector of energy action. The mechanism of this action of glutathione may be associated with decreased hyper-recovery of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and with its restored capacity to synthesize ATP at the first point of oxidative phosphorylation.
