N-Acetyl-DL-methionine (Standard)

N-Acetyl-DL-methionine (Standard) is the analytical standard of N-Acetyl-DL-methionine (HY-W019704). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. N-Acetyl-DL-methionine is an orally active methionine analog and a glutathione (GSH) precursor that can be metabolized into cysteine in vivo. N-Acetyl-DL-methionine increases plasma methionine concentration and the molar percentage of plasma lysine in castrated sheep, and can partially meet the methionine requirement of growing rats. N-Acetyl-DL-methionine is absorbable from the lower digestive tract of sheep and undergoes ruminal microbial degradation in vivo. N-Acetyl-DL-methionine alleviates Acetaminophen (HY-66005)-induced hepatic GSH depletion in mice, maintains hepatocyte integrity, and promotes de novo synthesis of hepatic GSH. N-Acetyl-DL-methionine can be used in studies related to acetaminophen-induced liver injury^[1][2].
