Hepatoprotection by L-cysteine-glutathione mixed disulfide, a sulfhydryl-modified prodrug of glutathione.
    Journal of biochemical and molecular toxicology, 2003, Volume: 17, Issue:2

    L-Cysteine-glutathione disulfide, a ubiquitous substance present in mammalian cells, was shown to be highly effective in protecting mice against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. Since the corresponding D-cysteine-glutathione disulfide was totally ineffective in this regard, an enzymatic mechanism that provides glutathione directly to cells is postulated.
