Sulfur-containing amino acids (SAAs) like cysteine and methionine form disulfide bonds and undergo reversible S-glutathionylation, S-nitrosylation, and S-persulfidation that contribute to peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, and transcription factor activity, thereby stabilizing the glutathione-to-glutathione disulfide (GSSG) redox couple
By weakening the masseter muscles, botox reduces the force and frequency of these actions, leading to less strain on the TMJ
