Atherosclerosis, 196(1), 275-282 (2006-12-13)
To investigate if the immunomodulator drug DINAC (1) affects arterial dimensions in asymptomatic patients with hypercholesterolemia, (2) has effects on leucocyte markers of inflammation and (3) has in vitro effects on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in human umbilical vein endothelial

Oral N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is used clinically for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. NAC is easily oxidized to its disulfide. We show here that N,N'-diacetyl-L-cystine (DiNAC) is a potent modulator of contact sensitivity (CS)/delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions in rodents.
