Type: Original PaperPurposeTo investigate whether permeation enhancement techniques affect the nail plate.MethodsInfrared and impedance spectroscopies examined the effects of hydration, iontophoresis...

Carvedilol plus NAC curbs postop atrial fibrillation

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Carvedilol plus N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) offered greater protection against postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) than metoprolol or carvedilol alone in a randomized...

Cardioprotection by S-nitrosation of a cysteine switch on mitochondrial complex I

Nitric oxide donors protect from myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, but the underlying mechanisms have been unclear. Edward T Chouchani et al. uncover the molecular target of such donors, a cyste...

Twin disulfides for orthogonal disulfide pairing and the directed folding of multicyclic peptides

The precise pairing of cysteine residues in proteins is routinely achieved in nature. However, the comparable pairing within polypeptides is a long-standing challenge for the preparation of multicycli...

[News] Acetyl-L-carnitine ineffective in treatment of CIPN

Previous studies had indicated that Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), a natural agent that enhances neuronal protection, might be a useful treatment option for patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral ne...

Peer-reviewed Article Reports ProImmune's Immune Formulation 200® Activates the Immune-Support Gene Nrf2.

(PRWEB) June 28, 2012 ProImmune's Immune Formulation 200® is able to potentiate Glutathione synthesis via the Pleiotropic Paradox, which utilizes the pleiotropic delivery system of the disulfi...

Metallo-β-lactamases withstand low Zn(II) conditions by tuning metal-ligand interactions

A number of multiresistant bacterial pathogens inactivate antibiotics by producing Zn(II)-dependent β-lactamases. We show that metal uptake leading to an active dinuclear enzyme in the periplasmic sp...

Regional Decoupling of N-acetyl-aspartate and Glutamate in Schizophrenia

CysK from Lactobacillus casei encodes a protein with O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase and cysteine desulfurization activity.

A gene encoding an O-acetyl-L: -serine sulfhydrylase (cysK) was cloned from Lactobacillus casei FAM18110 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant enzyme synthesized cysteine from su...

Preventive effects of N-acetyl cysteine on lipids, lipoproteins and myocardial infarct size in isoproterenol induced myocardial infarcted rats: An in vivo and in vitro study.

The present study evaluated the preventive effects of N-acetyl cysteine in isoproterenol induced myocardial infarcted rats. Rats were pretreated with N-acetyl cysteine (10mg/kg body weight) daily for...

More than antioxidant: N-acetyl-L-cysteine in a murine model of endometriosis.

N-acetyl-L-cysteine exerts a complex action on endometrial cells, involving regulation of gene expression and protein activity and location, all converging into a decreased proliferation and a switch...

A quick, convenient and economical method for the reliable determination of methylglyoxal in millimolar concentrations: the N-acetyl-L: -cysteine assay.

The determination of methylglyoxal (MG) concentrations in vivo is gaining increasing importance as high levels of MG are linked to various health impairments including complications of diabetes. In or...

Life Extension by Diet Restriction and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine in Genetically Heterogeneous Mice.

We used a heterogeneous stock of mice-UM-HET3, the first generation offspring of CByB6F1/J and C3D2F1/J parents-to test effects of six antiaging treatments on life span. In the first report of diet re...
