Chemical properties Chemical Name: L--glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine Molecular Formula: C10H17N3O6S CAS: 70-18-8 (reduced form) Molecular Weight: 307.32 g/mol Biological Significance Antioxidant Protection In our daily lives, the body constantly produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals, which attack cell membranes, proteins, and DNA, causing oxidative stress, accelerating aging, or triggering diseases
AMPK Activation as the Core Mechanism Berberine activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in hepatocytes and skeletal muscle, a pathway that overlaps meaningfully with metformin [5]
