Because glutathione synthesis depends on adequate cysteine availability, NAC supplementation has become one of the most widely researched strategies for supporting healthy glutathione levels
The enzyme CSE catalyzes the synthesis of cysteine from cystathionine, and its promoter contains a binding site for Nrf2, and expression can be triggered by oxidative stress (199)
For example, GSH forms thioether conjugates with leukotrienes, prostaglandins, hepoxilin, nitric oxide, hydroxyalkenals, ascorbic acid, dopa, dopamine, and maleic acid, and it forms thioesters with cysteine, coenzyme A, proteins, and other cellular thiols (Table 1 and Table 2)
