Iranian crack induces hepatic injury through mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in the liver of Wistar rat
Objective(s): Iranian crack (IC) is a heroin-based substance manifesting various pathologic side effects. Herein, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of IC-induced liver injuries in Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: control, and IC (0.9 mg/kg/day/IP, for 30 days). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measur...
متن کاملBile acids initiate cholestatic liver injury by triggering a hepatocyte-specific inflammatory response.
Mechanisms of bile acid-induced (BA-induced) liver injury in cholestasis are controversial, limiting development of new therapies. We examined how BAs initiate liver injury using isolated liver cells from humans and mice and in-vivo mouse models. At pathophysiologic concentrations, BAs induced proinflammatory cytokine expression in mouse and human hepatocytes, but not in nonparenchymal cells or...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum bile acid profiles as biomarkers of liver injury in rodents.
Bile acids (BAs) have been studied as potential biomarkers of drug-induced liver injury. However, the relationship between levels of individual BAs and specific forms of liver injury remains to be fully understood. Thus, we set out to evaluate cholic acid (CA), glycocholic acid (GCA), and taurocholic acid (TCA) as potential biomarkers of liver injury in rodent toxicity studies. We have develope...
متن کاملSuppression of autophagic flux by bile acids in hepatocytes.
Retention of bile acids (BAs) in the liver during cholestasis plays an important role in the development of cholestatic liver injury. Several studies have reported that high concentrations of certain BAs induce cell death and inflammatory response in the liver, and BAs may promote liver tumorigenesis. Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy) is a lysosomal degradation process that re...
متن کاملProtective effect of ischemic preconditioning against liver injury after major hepatectomy using the intermittent pringle maneuver in swine.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether ischemic preconditioning (IP) protects the liver against ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R-I) after major hepatectomy through intermittent hepatic pedicle clamping (IC) in a swine liver resection model. BACKGROUND Although many studies have reported a protective effect of IP against continuous hepatic ischemia, it has not been elucidated whether IP protects the...
