Body odour is a characteristic trait of Homo sapiens, however its role in human behaviour and evolution is poorly understood. Remarkably, body odour is linked to the presence of a few species of commensal microbes. Herein we discover a bacterial

Cysteine conjugate S-oxidase activity, with S-benzyl-L-cysteine as substrate, was found mostly in the microsomal fractions of rat liver and kidney. In the presence of oxygen and NADPH, S-benzyl-L-cysteine is converted to S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide; no S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfone was detected. The Vmax

We investigated the capacity and the localization of N-acetylation of the mercapturic acid precursor S-benzyl-L-cysteine (BC), as well as the tubular reabsorption of this compound in the rat kidney in vivo et situ by renal clearance and continuous microinfusion and

To explore the possibility of utilizing cysteine derivatives for technetium-99m radiopharmaceutical preparation with clinical potential, we synthesized two benzyl substituted cysteine compounds, namely, S-benzyl cysteine 1 and cysteine benzyl ester 3. It was expected, from our previous studies on benzoyl

Biosynthesis of N-acetylcysteine S-conjugates of xenobiotics, mercapturic acids, occurs via inter-organ metabolism of the corresponding glutathione derivatives (Inoue, M., Okajima, K., & Morino, Y. (1982) Hepatology 2, 311-316). To elucidate the mechanism of mercapturate biosynthesis and its urinary elimination, hepato-renal
