This study has revealed that 2-azetidinones are effective as antihyperglycemic agents and might act either through increased utilization of glucose or through increased insulin activity or induction of glycogen synthetase enzyme. 

Second, GSH functions, presumably nonenzymically, in the reduction of protein thiols which have become oxidized to mixed disulfides (803). In this latter function GSH in some cases converts inactive enzymes to active ones, or vice versa, and may thus serve as a means of metabolic control. Examples of this important possibility are glycogen synthetase D (EC 2.4.1.11) and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11). The D form of glycogen synthetase is dependent for activity upon the presence of glucose 6-phosphate. The enzyme is inactivated by GSSG and reactivated by GSH (204). Mixed disulfide formation between thiols of the enzyme and GSSG leads to a decrease in affinity of the enzyme for its activator (205).
