Impact of <i>N</i>-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) on Tuberculosis (TB) Patients—A Systematic Review

Impact of <i>N</i>-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) on Tuberculosis (TB) Patients—A Systematic Review

Sustained TB infection overproduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a host defense mechanism. Research shows ROS is destructive to lung tissue. Glutathione (GSH) neutralizes ROS, although it is consumed. NAC is a precursor of GSH synthesis, and administering an appropriate dose of NAC to patients w...
