Also, glutathione reduces cystine and cysteine-mixed disulphides to cysteine, thus making cysteine available for protein synthesis
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) The reagent kits IL-6 (PI328, Beyotime), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) (PT516, Beyotime), IgG (ab189578, Abcam), IgM (ab157738, Abcam), and IgA (ab157735, Abcam) were used to detect the expression of related factors in the serum of rats or the supernatant of alveolar epithelial cells
