Nac n-acetyl-l-cystine

• NAC provides N-acetyl-L-Cysteine, a derivative of L-Cysteine, which is more stable and better absorbed than L-Cysteine.

Description

NAC provides N-acetyl-L-Cysteine, a derivative of L-Cysteine, which is more stable and better absorbed than L-Cysteine. NAC works as a powerful antioxidant. As a precursor of the intracellular synthesis of glutathione, it is essential for the synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione is an essential component of the immune system because it is an important intracellular antioxidant soluble in water. As part of this function, glutathione plays a vital role as a cofator of antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and glutathion transferase. Glutathione is also important for the liver because the liver uses it for drug detoxification. As a metabolite of cysteine, NAC plays an important role in detoxification and is hepatoprotective. NAC acts in the protection of cells against oxidative stress and contributes to significant bodily reactions. As such, it is part of the defensive mechanism towards potential carcinogens, as well as against DNA damage. The role of NAC in the toxicity of acetaminophen is largely documented, however, NAC also contributes to other protective mechanisms, including conjugation and excretion of drugs, destruction of peroxide and free radicals, maintaining the Nadph-Nadp Redox State, the acidic balance. The NAC also plays a role in the development of the central nervous system. There have been many studies using NAC, with MPOC, especially in smoking patients. The use of NAC in smokers with chronic bronchitis has shown a significant reduction in the number of positive bacterial crops in these patients. {Rise GC, et al. EUR Respir J.1994 Jan; 7 (1): 94-101.} Another study using NAC indicated potential advantages for chronic bronchitis, which has led to a significantly lower exacerbation rate in patients who received NAC, compared to placebo . {Rassmussen, jb & amp; Glennow, C. EUR Respir J. 1988 AD; 1 (4): 351-5.} As it easily crosses cell membranes, it has been shown that the NAC is easily absorbed. It is also resistant to enzymatic degradation.
