DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020185
Abstract: Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulfur-containing amino acid analog that is biosynthesized in fungi and bacteria, accumulated in plants, and ingested by humans where it is concentrated in tissues under oxidative stress. While the physiological function… read more here.
