Cysteine metabolism to its sulfoxidation end-products is dependent upon two iron-dependent enzymes that are the only known mammalian thiol dioxygenases. These two thiol dioxygenases are cysteine dioxy
It has been acknowledged for years that compounds containing sulfur (S) are an important source of endogenous acid production. In the metabolism, S is oxidized to sulfate, and therefore the mEq sulfat
