Abstract excerpt
Cellular thiols including GSH (glutathione) and L-Cys (L-cysteine) are essential for cell signalling, growth and differentiation. L-Cys is derived from the extracellular thiol pool and is the rate-limiting compound for intracellular GSH biosynthesis. The present study investigated the effect of thiol-supplemented medium on cell growth, phenotype and total GSH of cultured hPMCs (human peritoneal mesothelial...
