“ Protein cysteines can form transient disulfides with glutathione (GSH), resulting in the production of glutathionylated proteins, and this process is regarded as a mechanism by which the redox state of the cell can regulate protein function.”
“Treatment of HIT-T15 and RINm5F cells with l-cysteine or l-cystine significantly augmented the glutathione contents, surpassing the effect of N-acetylcysteine, and abrogated 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-mediated cytotoxicity almost completely.”
“ l-Cysteine increased intracellular glutathione levels in primary beta-cells as well.”
