title: Sulphoxidation of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), cynomologus monkey (Macaca fascicularis), African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) and the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).
abstract: The metabolic pathways giving rise to the urinary metabolites of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine have been identified for the rhesus, cynomologus, African green and marmoset species of monkey. The formation of a sulphoxide metabolite from the sulphide precursor is a reaction important in these species. The metabolic profile displayed by the marmoset was distinct from the three Old World species, with the rhesus and cynomologus being similar to man.
