Disulfide bonds and free thiol groups in both proteins and smaller organic molecules like glutathione can 'trade places' through a disulfide exchange reaction
This may be due to the limited direct comparison evidence we were able to obtain on amifostine and glutathione (only 1 included study with only 46 patients in each group) ( Consistencies and Discrepancies with Other Studies Our result that amifostine is extremely effective in treating both overall and severe neurotoxicity is supported by the findings of various clinical trials (36)

The following covariates were adjusted in the model: child sex, delivery type, parity, gestational age, birth weight, maternal age, maternal marital status, prenatal smoking, prenatal alcohol use, intrauterine inflammation, preeclampsia, diabetes mellitus, maternal stress, estimated cell-type proportions (CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, B cells, monocytes, granulocytes, natural killer cells and nucleated red blood cells) and surrogate variables
These findings shed light on mechanisms underlying 5FU resistance and propose a rational strategy for combination therapy in CRC, emphasizing the potential clinical benefit of targeting mitochondrial metabolism to overcome resistance and enhance patient outcomes
