Antioxidant Effects of Stereoisomers of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), L-NAC and D-NAC, on Angiotensin II-Stimulated MAP Kinase Activation and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation

We examined the effects of the stereoisomers of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), L-NAC and D-NAC, on cellular glutathione (GSH) concentration and whether NAC-regulated cellular GSH levels are directly associated with angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced intracellular signaling events in vascular smooth muscle cel...
