S-substituted cysteines, alkyl esters of S-substituted cysteines and S-substituted glutathiones in which the substituent on the S atom is allyl, geranyl, cinnamyl, benzylidene-3-butyl, 1-(para-chlorophenyl)ethyl and (pyridyl-3)methyl but excluding S-allyl cysteine bring about a reduction in atheromatic deposits in the aorta of test animals as well as a reduction in hypercholesterolemia and are of low toxicity. They may be used by the conventional routes for the treatment of human atheromatic conditions and disorders of the lipid metabolism.
