Oxidation of lipoprotein-derived lipids is generally accepted to be important in atherogenesis, and lipophilic antioxidants have been suggested as potential antiatherosclerotic agents. The antiatherogenic effects observed by certain antioxidants, especially probucol, in different animal models support this suggestion. There are

Not all antioxidants reduce atherosclerosis. This may be because atherosclerosis has an autoimmune, inflammatory pathogenesis. As probucol is both an antioxidant and an immunomodulatory drug, it may be the immunomodulatory effect that underlies its ability to reduce atherosclerosis. N,N-Diacetyl-L-cystine is

In this study, we have applied and evaluated a modified cDNA representational difference analysis (RDA) protocol based on magnetic bead technology to study the molecular effects of a candidate drug (N,N'-diacetyl-L-cystine, DiNAC) in a model for atherosclerosis. Alterations in a

In this study the question of whether N-N-diacetylcystine (DAC), which is more stable than N-acetylcysteine (AcCYS), may provide a useful cysteine source for parenteral nutrition was investigated. In in vitro studies the release of cysteine from DAC was measured. The
