The effect of radioprotective agents on tissue nonprotein sulfhydryl and disulfide levels

Journal Article · · Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics
Reaction mechanisms involved in the radioprotective effects of aminoethylthiosulfuric acid and aminoethylthiophosphate in mice were investigated. The thioesters were injected into irradiated and control mice and the nonprotien sulfhydryl and disulfide content of spleen, liver, and blood were determined. Results were compared with those using other protective and nonprotective compounds. Results indicate that anninoethylthiosulfuric acid and aniinoethylthiophosphate are converted in vivo to cysteamine, which then may be the effective protective agent.
