Immunoregulatory genes involved in T cell development, activation, signaling, and innate immune response associated with vitiligo.4,28,49,50 Variants of the PTPN22 gene have been associated with several autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, making it a gene with a relevant role in the context of autoimmune diseases.61 The IKZF4 and FOXP3 genes, which play a role in gene silencing in Tregs, have also been linked.62 Several genes related to melanocyte function and survival have been invovled in vitiligo (Table 4)

G6PD reduces NADP + to NADPH while oxidizing glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to 6-phosphogluconolactone (6PG)
Causes of Glutathione Depletion: Aging Chronic stress Poor diet (low in sulfur-rich foods) Toxin exposure (pollution, alcohol, drugs) Certain diseases (diabetes, HIV, liver disease) How to Boost Glutathione Levels: Diet: Sulfur-rich foods (garlic, onions, cruciferous vegetables) High-quality protein (whey protein, eggs, lean meats) Foods rich in selenium (Brazil nuts, fish) and vitamin C (citrus fruits, berries) Supplements: Liposomal glutathione (better absorption) N-acetylcysteine (NAC) A precursor to glutathione Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) Recycles glutathione Lifestyle: Regular exercise (moderate intensity) Adequate sleep Reducing toxin exposure Medical & Cosmetic Uses: Used in IV therapy for detox, immune support, and chronic illnesses
cGKI-deficient mice are characterized by enhanced eryptosis, anemia, and splenomegaly with accumulation of PS-exposing erythrocytes in the spleen [175]
Oscillating glucose (OsG), leading to glycemia fluctuation every 6 h for 24 h, is more deleterious to endothelial function and oxidative stress than stable glucose in normal and T2DM patients 6
