The reaction 3 uses sulfite or phenolic compounds to generate free thiol from the disulfide for the next round elimination of ROS

In univariate analysis, operation, European Cooperative Oncology Group, sodium level, PIVKA-II, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, Child-Pugh score group, maximum tumor size, were significant prognostic factors of OS (p=0.049, 0.011, 0.004, 0.013, 0.049, 0.005, 0.013)

Although this might be seen as a positive for increasing cysteine and glutathione, in fact it is thought that the excess of cystathionine is overall negative and could flood and impair the other pathways below, or specifically increase ammonia
