Icing your rib will help reduce pain and swelling, so that the bruised tissue can heal more quickly. Stick to ice for the first 72 hours after an injury, and resist the urge to break out a heating pad instead. Find a bag of frozen vegetables (like peas or corn), or fill a resealable plastic bag with chipped ice. Wrap the bag of ice in a towel or T-shirt, and lay it over your bruised rib. 3. Take pain medication.
Glutathione conjugation. Glutathione (GSH) plays a key role in detoxification of certain herbicides (e.g. chloroacetanilides, thiocarbamates and s-triazines) in higher plants via the action of glutathione S-transferase(s) (Breaux, 1986; Pickett and Lu, 1989; Rossini et al, 1996; Gronwald and Plaisance, 1998):lutathione S-transferases (GSTs) may also be involved in conjugating electrophiles generated from the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with lipids and DNA, and thus contribute to oxidative stress resistance (Marrs, 1996).
In its reduced form, glutathione passes through our cells gathering up toxins, free radicals and heavy metals, excreting them from the body. Once this action is performed the glutathione molecule enters its oxidized form.
