Dietary L-Cysteine Improves the Antioxidative Potential and Lipid Metabolism in Rats Fed a Normal Diet

L-Cysteine works as a precursor of the antioxidant, glutathione. We investigated the effects of L-cysteine (1% and 2%) on lipid metabolism and the antioxidative system in rats fed a normal diet. Administering L-cysteine dependently decreased the food intake, fat mass weight and body weight dose. Die...
