Combined and stratified analyses were used.ResultsSeven trials were identified, and data from n=447 participants were included. Pooled analysis showed improvement of positive and negative syndrome scale following NAC treatment compared with placebo, for total (SMB=-0.96) [95% CI -1.69, -0.24; P=0.009], general (SMB=-1.04) [95% CI -1.80, -0.27; P=0.008] and negative (SMB=-0.73) [95% CI -1.29, -0.17; P=0.01] scores, respectively. Significant heterogeneity was found, and subgroup analysis showed significant reductions in studies with a treatment duration of 24weeks, with a considerable effect size on total, general, and negative scores (Total SMD=-0.83; General SMD=-0.67; Negative SMD=-1.09) following NAC.ConclusionsNAC improved all aspects of positive and negative syndrome scale in schizophrenic populations and may be more efficacious with treatment durations up to 24weeks.}, keywords = {SCHIZOPHRENIA; Meta-analysis; PANSS; N-acetyl cysteine}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1432-1041}, pages = {289-301} } @article{MTMT:30762602, author = {Moghadas, M. and Essa, M.M. and Ba-Omar, T. and Al-Shehi, A. and Qoronfeh, M.W. and Eltayeb, E.A. and Guillemin, G.J. and Manivasagam, T. and Justin-Thenmozhi, A. and Al-Bulushi, B.S. and Al-Adawi, S. and Edalatmanesh, M.A.}, doi = {10.2741/4720}, title = {Antioxidant therapies in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder}, journal-iso = {FRONT BIOSCI-LANDMRK}, journal = {FRONTIERS IN BIOSCIENCE-LANDMARK}, volume = {24}, unique-id = {30762602}, issn = {1093-9946}, abstract = {Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder among children and adults. Impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity are hallmark of ADHD. While ADHD is not on the autism spectrum, they are related in several ways as they have some overlapping symptoms. The pathogenesis of ADHD has so far remained enigmatic, however, there is some evidence suggesting critical association among ADHD and the level of oxidative stress which trigger cell membrane damage, changes in inner structure and function of proteins, as well as structural damage to DNA which eventually culminate into development of ADHD. Although stimulants as well as some classes of non-stimulants are used to ameliorate symptom of ADHD, various adverse effects have been associated with such compounds. To date, treatment of ADHD is done with a combination of medications, behavior modifications, psycho-education, family therapy and life-style changes. The American Academy of Pediatrics officially promote stimulant medications and/or behavior therapy as 'first line of therapy'. In addition to the presently therapeutic armamentarium, evidences are emerging on relevancy of natural products. There has been an interest on the therapeutic role of antioxidants in the treatment of ADHD. The present review aims to highlight the beneficiary role played by different antioxidants in mitigating the symptoms of ADHD. © 2019 Frontiers in Bioscience.

It is a thiol compound, which acts as a donor of cysteine, leading to replenishment of glutathione and thus acts as an antioxidant. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, alters the levels of neurotransmitters, inhibits proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes and causes vasodilatation. Due to these actions, n-acetylcysteine has found use in several dermatologic conditions in systemic and topical form. The drug has been used as an adjuvant in the management of conditions such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug hypersensitivity syndrome, trichotillomania, skin picking disorders and onychotillomania, ichthyoses, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, melasma, pseudoporphyria, connective tissue diseases, wound healing and alopecia. It also has a role in protection from radiation-induced skin damage including photo-ageing, photocarcinogenesis and radiation dermatitis. Most indications in dermatology are supported by case reports, small case series and small trials. Higher quality of evidence is needed for its wider use. The drug is cheap and is generally safe with few adverse effects. Thus a greater role is possible for use of n-acetylcysteine in various skin conditions. This review explores the various uses of n-acetylcysteine in the field of dermatology, the evidence supporting the same, the possible mechanisms of action and the adverse effects of the drug.},
