Total cysteine increases in response to LA treatment in the brain. Changes in brain (A) and heart (B) cysteine levels following LA treatment were examined in young (N = 3) and old (N = 3) rats following LA treatment (40 mg/kg body wt.). Results show a transient but significant increase in total cysteine content within 12 h following LA administration in the aging brain (A). In contrast, myocardial cysteine levels were unaffected by LA treatment in both young and old animals. Statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA using Bonferroni’s post hoc tests. (* denotes statistically significant differences between controls and treatment; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; and ***p < 0.001.)
