The Protective Effect of Garlic Extract against Acetaminophen-Induced Loss of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in Freshly Isolated Rat Hepatocytes

the protective effect of garlic extract against acetaminophen-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes

overdose of acetaminophen causes severe hepatic necrosis in humans and experimental animals. studies on its hepatotoxicity remain a very active area since some of current data are still uncertain. in this study, freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were used to determine the effects of garlic extract and its component, allicin on the acetaminophen-induced cell cytotoxicity and to compare with the e...

Protective effect of NAC against malathion-induced oxidative stress in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes.

PURPOSE Induction of oxidative stress by Organophosphate compounds (OPs) has been previously reported. In the present work, the mechanism of protective effects of N-acetylcysteine as a glutathion (GSH) prodrug against malathion-induced cell toxicity was investigated. In this work, freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were used to determine the effect of NAC on malathion-induced cytotoxicity, format...

protective effect of date seed (phoenix dactylifera) extract against carbon tetrachloride toxicity in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes

Protective Effects of N-acetylcysteine Against the Statins Cytotoxicity in Freshly Isolated Rat Hepatocytes.

PURPOSE Hepatotoxicity is one of the most important side effects of the statins therapy as lipid-lowering agents. However, the mechanism(s) of hepatotoxicity induced by these drugs is not clearly understood yet, and no hepatoprotective agent has been developed against this complication. METHODS The protective effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against statins-induced cytotoxicity was evaluated ...

Mechanistic approach for thioridazine-induced hepatotoxicity and potential benefits of melatonin and/or coenzyme Q10 on freshly isolated rat hepatocytes

Thioridazine (TZ) is used mainly in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, hepatotoxicity as a life-threatening adverse effect is associated with its clinical use. In this context, we examined the cytotoxic mechanisms of TZ on freshly isolated rat hepatocytes to better understanding of the pathogenesis of TZ-induced hepatotoxicity. Hepatocytes were prepared by the method of collagenase enzyme...
