Investigative analysis reveals cysteine and cystine concentrations in plasma, highlighting renal implications.

The study aims to quantify the concentrations of cysteine and cystine in human plasma to understand their renal excretion mechanism.
Analyzed samples of human blood plasma to differentiate between the -SH and -S-S- forms of cysteine and cystine.
Compared findings with previous studies on renal amino acid excretion and oxidation processes.
Determined specific concentrations of cysteine and cystine in plasma, contributing to the understanding of their physiological roles.
Showed evidence of variability in cystine excretion in relation to dietary intake of cysteine and methionine.

Brigham et al. (1960) studied this question.
