In the coupling reaction, the iodinated tyrosine residues are combined by TPO to make triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4), where MIT and DIT join to form T3, and two DIT molecules form T4
Furthermore, most preclinical studies have used acute RF models (e.g., UUO and I/R), which fail to recapitulate the chronic, progressive nature of human RF (e.g., long-term fibrosis and comorbidity-associated complications)
Therefore, it is crucial to approach IV glutathione therapy under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional who can monitor its effects and adjust dosages as necessary
