the mechanism of action of cysteine , methionine , n-acetylcysteine ( nac ) and cysteamine in protecting against paracetamol ( apap ) induced hepatotoxicity in male c3h mice in vivo has been investigated by , characterising the effect of the individual protective agents on the metabolism of an hepatotoxic dose of apap , and determining the efficacy of the protective agents in animals treated with buthionine sulphoximine ( bso ) , a specific inhibitor of glutathione ( gsh ) synthesis .
