“In analysis of "death by neglect," NAC markedly enhanced the extent of spinal ganglion neuron survival obtained with suboptimal concentrations of nerve growth factor and of oligodendrocyte survival obtained with suboptimal concentrations of CNTF or insulin-like growth factor-1.”
“ N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), which acts as a reductant in cells both by its direct reducing activity and by increasing the synthesis of the cellular antioxidant glutathione, inhibited neuronal differentiation induced by NGF or by the expression of oncogenic ras in PC12 cells.”

“In striatum and cortex, NAC prevented glial cells activation (GFAP and Iba-1), decreased NGF , Bcl-2 and NeuN, the increase of lipid peroxidation and PARP induced by GA in both ages.”
