Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylcysteine
DescriptionMethylcysteine is one of the identified number of bioactive substances in garlic that are water soluble (PMID 16484549 ). It has been suggested that the use of these organosulfur agents derived from garlic could protect partially oxidized and glycated LDL or plasma against further oxidative and glycative deterioration, which might benefit patients with diabetic-related vascular diseases (PMID 15161248 ). It may also exert some chemopreventive effects on chemical carcinogenesis. However, it should be borne in mind that may also demonstrate promotion potential, depending on the organ examined (PMID 9591199 ). Methylcystein is a biomarker for the consumption of dried and cooked beans.
