N-acetylcysteine reduces the hepatic complications of social isolation stress through modulation of interleukin 1 and 6 gene expression and liver enzymes in mice.

Social isolation stress can alter liver function. This study examined the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on biochemical and genetic liver changes in mice under social isolation stress. Ten male and ten female mice were individually placed in Plexiglas cages for mating.
