Pharmaceutical applications of L-cysteine
1. Liver protection and detoxification
Detoxification function: As a precursor of glutathione, it helps to eliminate free radicals, heavy metals, and drug metabolism toxins, reduce liver cell damage, and promote repair.
Alcohol and chemical liver injury protection: By enhancing glutathione levels, it alleviates the damage of toxins such as alcohol and carbon tetrachloride to the liver.
2. Treatment of respiratory system diseases
Mucolytic effect: reduces sputum viscosity, used for respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis and asthma, improves sputum discharge and respiratory function.
Adjuvant treatment for pulmonary infection: reducing inflammatory response by antioxidant and regulating glutamate levels.
3. Antioxidant and radiation resistance
Combat oxidative stress: reduce the damage of free radicals to cells and delay the development of age-related diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases.
Radiation damage protection: prevent tissue damage caused by radiotherapy or radiation exposure.
4. Immune regulation and infection defense
Enhance immunity: increase the activity of immune cells, promote cytokine secretion, and enhance anti infection ability.
5. The nervous system and metabolic regulation
Improving cognitive function: regulating neurotransmitter balance, enhancing synaptic plasticity, assisting in improving memory and brain function.
Promote protein synthesis: stimulate growth hormone secretion, improve amino acid utilization, and accelerate tissue repair.
6. Treatment of skin and metabolic diseases
Skin disease management: By maintaining the activity of skin keratin thiolase, improve dermatitis, eczema, and abnormal keratin metabolism.
Metabolic detoxification: auxiliary treatment for metabolic diseases caused by toxin accumulation
