The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on biochemical alterations during the post-burn stage in scalded rats. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and dorsum was shaved. Second-degree skin burn was induced by immersing an iron mold (1.0 cm2 in diameter) in boiling (100°C) water for 5 min and placed on the back of t...
