“Recently, antioxidants like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) were reported to inhibit H(2)O(2)-mediated necrotic cell death, although they were inactive against apoptosis induced by other agents like etoposide.”
“Prevention of cell death by GSH and NAC does not seem to be a general rule since these antioxidants impaired etoposide (but not cycloheximide) ‐induced apoptosis.”
