The ability of astroglia-rich primary cultures derived from the brains of neonatal rats to take up and metabolize various sulfur containing compounds to cysteine was investigated using the content of intracellular glutathione as an indicator. Astroglial cells were partially depleted of glutathione b

## Abstract In this communication we report a proof of concept study of the use of cyclic voltammetry with a polyeugenol‐modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode to selectively detect L‐cysteine in the presence of both dl‐homocysteine and glutathione in perchloric acid. The formation of a polyeugenol‐
Effects of neurodegeneration have been linked to inefficient detoxification of free radicals due to lowered concentrations of antioxidants, especially glutathione, in the brain. In the biosynthesis of glutathione, cysteine concentration is generally the limiting factor. Glutathione and cysteine admi
