Enhancing the efficacy of low doses of N-acetyl-L-cysteine in mitigating CCl-induced hepatotoxicity in animal model using physical cold plasma.

Liver diseases have become widespread especially due to various factors of modern life. Although the effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is investigated in the recovery of liver damage, gas plasma therapy can be identified as a promising candidate. Our study aimed to enhance the effectiveness of ineffective doses of NAC in stopping CCl-induced hepatotoxicity in rats by physical cold plasma.

Influence of a transient spark plasma discharge on producing high molecular masses of chemical products from L-cysteine.

Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas are considered a forthcoming method in many research areas. Plasma modification of biomolecules has received much attention in addition to plasma-treated biomaterials. Hence, in this work, we operated a transient spark plasma (TSP) discharge to study its effect on the L-cysteine chemical structure.
