Increased recovery of brain acetylcholinesterase activity in dichlorvos-intoxicated European eels Anguilla anguilla by bath treatment with N-acetylcy…

2003

Organophosphate (OP) pesticides are widely used as antiparasitic chemicals in finfish aquaculture. However, current antidotes cannot be applied to treat intoxicated fish. We showed in previous studies the importance of glutathione (GSH) metabolism in pesticide resistance of the European eel Anguilla anguilla L. The present work studied the effects of the antioxidant and glutathione pro-drug N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) on the recovery of European eels exposed for 96 h to a sublethal concentration (0.17 mg l^-1; 20% of its 96 h LC50) of the OP pesticide dichlorvos (2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate; DDVP). This insecticide and acaricide decreased muscular GSH content and increased oxidised g…

Determination of total free amino acids with o-phthalaldehyde and N-acetyl-l-cysteine

1990

Abstract A spectrophotometric procedure is proposed for the determination of total free amino acids after reaction with o-phthalaldehyde and N-acetyl- l -cysteine, using isoleucine as the reference. The procedure was applied to the analysis of five samples of widely different composition. Recoveries were 98–105%.

N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is the acetylated precursor of L-cysteine, and it is strictly related to glutathione activity. NAC is used in medicine since more than 30 years, primarily as a mucolytic, though its properties are exploited in the treatment of many diseases, such as acute poisoning by acetaminophen (restoring protective levels of glutathione), HIV, contrast-induced nephropathy, type-2 DM (diabetes mellitus), and it also looks promising in the treatment of several psychiatric disorders [1]. This resulted in a huge number of scientific contributions published during the years on NAC (searching in some scientific databases, more than 10000 papers appear). As expected, most of them are…
