which acts as an oxidative agent. Individuals deficient in
◻
suffer
◻
from eating fava beans, a condition known as favism. This enzyme deficiency results in a dearth of
◻
which prevents certain cells from reducing

from the disulfide form to the sulfhydryl form. As a result, cells are unable to eliminate

which can damage membranes as well as other biomolecules.
