Abstract excerpt
In this study, we examined the effects of 20 amino acids on the expression level of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in human intestinal LS180 cells. Five amino acids were associated with significant increases in NQO1 mRNA expression; the most substantial increase was induced by cysteine,...
