Infection Blocks Lung's Protective Response Against Tobacco Smoke

An infection that often goes undetected can block the lung’s natural protective response against tobacco smoke, according to researchers at National Jewish Health. The findings, recently published online and scheduled to appear in the October issue of Infection and Immunity, suggest one mechanism that may cause smokers to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

It has long been known that the lungs mount a strong protective response against tobacco smoke, which the National Jewish researchers confirmed in their studies in mice and cell cultures. They found that mice exposed to tobacco smoke for 16 weeks doubled the amount of the antioxidant glutathione in the fluid bathing the airways. The antioxidant reacts with the reactive species in tobacco smoke, thus preventing damaging reactions with lung tissue.

If we didn't have glutathione in our bodies, we would be far more serious danger than we think. Problem is, we can also deplete our glutathione. Fortunately, there is MaxGXL. It helps replenish the lost glutathione in our body thus helping our immune system protect our bodies.
