Abstract EN
Sulfur amino acids are a kind of amino acids which contain sulfhydryl, and they play a crucial role in protein structure, metabolism, immunity, and oxidation.
Our review demonstrates the oxidation resistance effect of methionine and cysteine, two of the most representative sulfur amino acids, and their metabolites.
Methionine and cysteine are extremely sensitive to almost all forms of reactive oxygen species, which makes them antioxidative.
Moreover, methionine and cysteine are precursors of S-adenosylmethionine, hydrogen sulfide, taurine, and glutathione.
These products are reported to alleviate oxidant stress induced by various oxidants and protect the tissue from the damage.
However, the deficiency and excess of methionine and cysteine in diet affect the normal growth of animals; thereby a new study about defining adequate levels of methionine and cysteine intake is important.
