N-Acetylcysteine as an antioxidant and disulphide breaking agent: the reasons why

TL;DR: The disulphide breaking activity of NAC also explains its mucolytic activity which is due to its effect in reducing heavily cross-linked mucus glycoproteins and free thiols as well as reduced proteins which have important direct antioxidant activity.

Redox environment of the cell as viewed through the redox state of the glutathione disulfide/glutathione couple.

TL;DR: Estimates can be used to more fully understand the redox biochemistry that results from oxidative stress, which hopefully will provide a rationale and understanding of the cellular mechanisms associated with cell growth and development, signaling, and reductive or oxidative stress.
