Ergothioneine is a thiol/thione molecule synthesised only by some fungi and bacteria.
Nonetheless, it is avidly taken up from the diet by humans and other animals through a …

There has been a recent surge of interest in the unique low molecular weight dietary
thiol/thione, ergothioneine. This compound can accumulate at high levels in the body from …

Ergothioneine (ET) is a diet-derived, thiolated derivative of histidine with antioxidant
properties. Although ET is produced only by certain fungi and bacteria, it can be found at …

Ergothioneine (ERG) is an unusual thio-histidine betaine amino acid that has potent
antioxidant activities. It is synthesised by a variety of microbes, especially fungi (including in …

Since its discovery, the unique properties of the naturally occurring amino acid, L-
ergothioneine (EGT; 2-mercaptohistidine trimethylbetaine), have intrigued researchers for …

Ergothioneine (ET) is a natural compound which humans and other vertebrates cannot
synthesize themselves; it must be absorbed from food in which it is distributed very …

Aim: We investigated the uptake and pharmacokinetics of l-ergothioneine (ET), a dietary
thione with free radical scavenging and cytoprotective capabilities, after oral administration …

L-ergothioneine (ET) is a diet-derived amino acid that accumulates at high concentrations in
animals and humans. Numerous studies have highlighted its antioxidant abilities in vitro …

Ergothioneine (ET), a naturally occurring thione, can accumulate in the human body at high
concentrations from diet. Following absorption via a specific transporter, OCTN1, ET may …

BACKGROUND: Treatment of oxidative stress-related pathologies is a possible
therapeutical strategy for the future. Natural product with antioxidant properties could trigger …
