Diabetes N-acetylcysteine
A cysteine derivative, n-acetyl-cysteine (nac), is known to be anti-oxidant, but its role in the protection of pancreatic beta cells in type 1 diabetes remains unclear. the aim of this study is to clarify the effect of nac on pancreatic beta cells using an adoptive transfer system in a murine model of type 1 diabetes. Additionally, some proponents claim that n-acetylcysteine can help prevent cancer. so far, scientific support for the benefits of n-acetylcysteine is lacking. here's a look at some key research findings: n-acetylcysteine may help keep chronic bronchitis in check, according to a 2000 report in clinical therapeutics. looking at data from eight clinical trials, the report's authors found that long-term use of n-acetylcysteine may help prevent acute flare-ups of chronic bronchitis and, in turn, lower health care costs. n-acetylcysteine may aid in diabetes management, suggests a 2006 study from the journal of basic and clinical physiology and pharmacology. involving...
