On the basis of the results available up to date, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease [119] recognizes that mucolytic and antioxidant drugs, such as NAC, can be used as an adjunct therapy to reduce the risk of acute exacerbation of COPD, but in a limited way due to the lack of robust randomized controlled clinical trials (level of evidence B)

Cuprizone-induced demyelination in animals is accepted for studying multiple sclerosis-related lesions and is characterized by degeneration of oligodendrocytes more than by a direct attack on the myelin sheet (12)

Consistent with this, use of a reducing source such as -mercaptoethanol allows reversal of xCT-KO phenotype, as it has been reported couple decades ago by Bannai's group ( in vivo can explain the discrepancy with in vitro phenotype

Retrotransposons Repetitive DNA sequences that can self-propagate in the human genome by using a copy-and-paste mechanism in which an intermediate RNA molecule is reverse-transcribed to make a new genomic insertion

This cell-building protein is an essential component of cell structure and movement which leads to its role in tissue repair

Imbalances in the interactions between glutamate and glutathione may lead to impaired redox signaling and neuronal abnormalities
