“The intracellular antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (400 microM) significantly inhibited the mitogenic effects of mox-LDL, ox-LDL, H2O2, LPC, and HNE but not that of 5-HT.”
“ NAC at 150 and 250 mg/kg reversed all cortico-striatal DA, Dopac, HVA, 5-HT , 5-HIAA and striatal NA alterations in SIR animals, with 250 mg/kg of NAC also reversing alterations in cortico-striatal MHPG.”
“Meanwhile, results also showed that N-acetylcysteine (a reactive oxygen species scavenger) suppressed the proliferation and the ERK1/2 and JNK activation induced by 5-HT.”

“We presently show … 1 microM 5-HT also rapidly elevates phosphorylation and activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and ERK2 of SMCs, and the enhanced phosphorylation is blocked by the antioxidants Tiron, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), and Ginkgo biloba extract.”
