## Abstract The immunosuppressive agent cyclosporine A (CsA) has been reported to exert measurable hepatotoxic effects. One of the causes leading to hepatotoxicity is thought to be reactive oxygen radical formation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of __N__‐acetylcysteine (NAC)

## ABSTRACT Following our long‐standing interest in the mechanisms involved in selenium toxicity, the aim of this work was to extend our previous studies to gain a better understanding of mercuric chloride (HgCl~2~) + diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)~2~ toxicity. Mice received one daily dose of HgCl~2~ (
## Abstract The results of several in vitro studies have shown that cysteine prodrugs, particularly N‐acetylcysteine, are effective antioxidants that increase the survival of dopaminergic neurons. N‐acetylcysteine can be systemically administered to deliver cysteine to the brain and is of potential
