Glutathione serves as the primary substrate for the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme family, which neutralizes hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides
Mier-Cabrera et al (129) demonstrated that combined supplementation of vitamins E and C reduced oxidative stress markers, such as MDA and LOOH, in the plasma and peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis, although no improvement in pregnancy rates was observed
