Acetylcysteine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Whereas animal tudies have suggested that NAC is able to reverse the neurobehavoral effects of ketamine , this study in human volunteers did not emonstrate a comparable pattern.
Biological Psychiatry  •  2012  |  View Paper
In the absence of N-acetylcysteine, a concentration of ketamine that produces an internal embryo exposure level comparable to human anesthetic plasma concentrations significantly reduced heart rate and body length and those effects were prevented by N-acetylcysteine co-treatment.
Ketamine also reduced the areas occupied by serotonergic neurons in the brain, whereas N-acetylcysteine co-exposure counteracted this effect.

Furthermore, dendritic spine density was increased in the NAc of both males and females administered 5 mg/kg ketamine , an effect specific to the NAc shell (NAcSh) in males but to both the NAc core (NAcC) and NAcSh in females.

Ketamine also increased nitrite/nitrate in the PFC, hippocampus, amygdala, and NAc.
Myeloperoxidase activity increased in the hippocampus and NAc after ketamine administration.
