Glutathione (GSH) is the main non-enzymatic defence against oxidative stress and is a critical intracellular component required for oocyte maturation. In the present study, several modulators of intracellular GSH were assessed for their effect on the in vitro maturation (IVM)
Oligomerization of thiol-unprotected L-cysteine ethyl ester (Cys-OEt) catalyzed by proteinase K in aqueous solution has been used to synthesize oligo(L-cysteine) (OligoCys) with a well-defined chemical structure and relatively large degree of polymerization (DP) up to 16-17 (average 8.8). By using

To determine how often neuroimaging confirms, clarifies, or contradicts initial diagnoses of late-life cognitive disorders. Retrospective case review. Outpatient clinic specializing in memory disorders. One hundred ninety-three consecutively referred cognitively impaired patients. Diagnoses using research criteria were developed for each
The mutagenicity of thiol (SH)-containing compounds was tested in Salmonella typhimurium TA102 in the liquid preincubation method. Cysteinyl-glycine (CG), cysteine ethyl ester (CEE), L- and D-penicillamine (PA), cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) were mutagenic to strain TA102 without metabolic activation.

The neuroprotective effects of s-allyl cysteine, s-ethyl cysteine, and s-propyl cysteine in D-galactose (DG)-treated mice were examined. DG treatment increased the formation of Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42), enhanced mRNA expression of β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) and β-site APP cleavage enzyme 1
