Moreover, NAC increased the concentrations of citrulline and D-xylose in the plasma, as well as the expression of genes for aquaporin ( AQP ) 3, AQP4 , peptide transporter 1 ( PepT1 ), sodium/glucose co-transporter-1 (SGLT-1), potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 13 ( KCNJ13 ), and solute carrier family 1 member 1 ( SLC1A1 ) in the jejunum, demonstrating that NAC augmented intestinal metabolic activity and absorptive function
