202,203 Essentially, the imported disulphide-containing proteins undergo cathepsin-catalysed degradation in the lysosome, leading to the formation of cystine, which is then effluxed by the cystinosin transporter into the cytosol, where it is reduced to cysteine in a process that requires NADPH, leading to the formation of oxidised glutathione

After eight weeks, both groups showed a reduction in the severity score (mMASI): there was a reduction of 12% (95% CI 8 %19 %) in the NAC group and 12% (95% CI 5%21%) in the PLAC group (p = 0.613)

The result is more efficient glucose uptake and a measurable improvement in peripheral insulin responsiveness (115)
