Abstract

Glutathione is the most abundant non-protein mercaptan peptide in cells. In cells, glutathione can scavenge free radicals, transduced signal, maintained membrane integrity and as a source of nitrogen and sulfur during nutrient restriction. At the same time, glutathione also plays a certain role in animal growth and development, immune, detoxification and resistance to oxidative stress. In this review, the physiological function, fermentation production of glutathione and its application in animal production were introduced, to providing reference direction for further promotion and application of glutathione.
