AIM: To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on hepatocyte (using C3A immortalized cell line) detoxification and biological metabolism, and to compare the therapeutic effect between NAC and GSH (reduced glutathione). METHODS: C3A cells were cultured with chronic severe hepatitis plasma...
The key difference between acetylcysteine and N-acetylcysteine is that acetylcysteine is a comparatively less toxic form, while N-acetylcysteine is a more toxic form. Acetylcysteine is an organic compound having the chemical formula C5H9NO3S. It is sometimes known as N-acetylcysteine, but they are ...
Thekey difference between NAC and glutathioneis that NAC is an immediate precursor for glutathione, whereas glutathione is an antioxidant compound that exists in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and some archaea. N-acetylcysteine or NAC is a form of acetylcysteine, and it is banned from being u...
HUVECs and HepG2/C3A cells were treated for 4 h with DEHP or tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Etomoxir (ETO), N-acetylcysteine (NAC), or butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) was added 2 h prior to treatment with DEHP or TBHP. Following DEHP or TBHP treatment, the ROS-detecting agent, H2...
