The association between menopause and the kidney status is consistent with data from an epidemiological study revealing that postmenopausal women are susceptible to chronic kidney disease, which is characterized by diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, and central obesity

L-Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, one of the most important natural detoxifiers and anti-oxidants

The nuclear glutathione pool is more resistant to depletion by BSO than the cytosolic as it was demonstrated in 3T3 fibroblasts and other human cell lines 87,88 , hence we cannot exclude the possibility that AITC -which presumably acts differently from BSO- is able to deplete efficiently the nuclear pool
