IFNG and infection: GSH inhibits production of most inflammatory cytokines, and it is needed to keep an adequate interferon gamma production by dendritic cells, essential for intracellular pathogen host defense (Ghezzi, 2011; Lee and Ashkar, 2018; Calder, 2020; Fraternale et al., 2021). The principal function of endogenous GSH is not to limit inflammation but to fine-tune the innate immune response to infection (Diotallevi et al., 2017; De Flora et al., 2020; Silvagno et al., 2020; Ferreira et al., 2021)
