The Contribution of Homocysteine Metabolism Disruption to Endothelial Dysfunction: State-of-the-Art
[2] Antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidases and peroxiredoxins, generate glutathione disulfide during the reduction of peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and organic hydroperoxides (ROOH): [3] 2 GSH + ROOH GSSG + ROH + H 2 O Other enzymes, such as glutaredoxins, generate glutathione disulfide through thiol-disulfide exchange with protein disulfide bonds or other low molecular mass compounds, such as coenzyme A disulfide or dehydroascorbic acid
Whey protein provides amino acids that are used by the body in the production of glutathione, including cysteine

Medications that interfere with B12 absorption (e.g., metformin, proton pump inhibitors)
NAC deacetylates under the action of N-deacetylase to enhance intracellular Cys, thereby increasing the endogenous synthesis of GSH
