What is Neurochemistry of Excitatory SAAs about?

This chapter reviews acidic sulfur-containing amino acids (SAAs) that have neuroexcitatory properties. Several endogenous SAAs like L-cysteine, L-homocysteine, and their oxidized forms are synthesized in the brain and can act as neurotransmitters through glutamate receptors. L-cysteine and L-cystine are also precursors for the antioxidant glutathione. Some SAAs are cytotoxic and can cause excitotoxicity or gliotoxicity. While none have been directly linked to neurodegenerative diseases, certain SAAs may exa
