The Effect of Short‐Term Periodic Fasting on the Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Injury in Mice
Introduction: In many cultures fasting is recommended as a way to protect and promote health. However, there are few studies on the effects of fasting on organ function and resistance to toxic agents such as drugs. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of short-term periodic fasting on the acetaminophen hepatotoxic effects in mice. Methods: In this...
متن کاملAcetaminophen Overdose and Drug-Induced Liver Injury
The advances in modern medicine have brought about a lot of changes in how we deal with illnesses. One of these relatively new found technologies is the use of medications. However, this has led many to assume that all of the diseases suffered can be treated with medications alone. The danger is more prominent among those who take these without the consultation of health care providers. A poor ...
متن کاملAcetaminophen induced gender-dependent liver injury and the involvement of GCL and GPx.
Acetaminophen (AP) is widely used as the antipyretic and analgesic drug in clinic, and it can induce serious liver injury in the case of excessive abuse. The present study showed that AP (400 mg/kg) induced obvious liver injury, while in male mice the hepatotoxicity induced by AP was much more serious than in female mice as indicated by the results of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and...
متن کاملComplement activation in acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice.
Overdose with acetaminophen (APAP) results in acute liver failure in humans and experimental animals. Complement comprises more than 30 proteins that can participate in tissue injury and/or repair, but the role of complement activation in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity has not been evaluated. Treatment of male, C57BL6J mice with APAP (200-400 mg/kg) resulted in liver injury as evidenced by increas...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide-binding protein modulates acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice.
Acetaminophen toxicity is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States and Europe. Although much is known about the metabolism of acetaminophen, many questions remain regarding the pathogenesis of liver injury. In this study, we examined the role of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), a protein important in mediating cellular response to lipopolysaccharides, by using ...
