Protective effects of N-acetylcysteine on cisplatin-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage in HepG2 cells
13 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
-acetylcysteine (NAC), a known antioxidant, is often used as an antidote for acetaminophen overdose in the clinic due to its ability to increase the levels of glutathione (GSH). In the present study, the aim was to investigate the protective effects of NAC against CDDP-induced apoptosis in human-derived HepG2 cells. The results showed that upon exposure of the cells to CDDP, oxidative stress was significantly...
