Research into the pathogenesis of acetaminophen (paracetamo1)-induced hepatotoxicity has concentrated on the generation of toxic metabolites by the hepatocytes. It has, however, recently been shown that human macrophages cultured with acetaminophen secrete increased quantities of tumour necrosis fac

Acetaminophen is a mild analgesic and antipyretic agent known to cause centrilobular hepatic necrosis at toxic doses. Although this may be due to a direct interaction of reactive acetaminophen metabolites with hepatocyte proteins, recent studies have suggested that cytotoxic mediators produced by pa
## Abstract This report presents a set of investigations on the hepatotoxic action of acetaminophen (AA). Male mice of Balb C strain were given [^3^H]acetaminophen in doses of 100, 300 and 600 mg kg^โ1^ with or without pretreatment with 3โmethylcholanthrene (3MCh) or diethyl maleate (DEM). The res
The hepatotoxicity of several drugs is increased by mild viral infections. During such infections, death receptor ligands are expressed at low levels, and most parenchymal cells survive. We tested the hypothesis that subliminal death receptor stimulation may aggravate the hepatotoxicity of drugs, wh
## Abstract Mice pretreated with the peroxisome proliferator clofibrate (CFB) are highly resistant to acetaminophen (APAP)โinduced hepatotoxicity. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether the increase in hepatic catalase activity following CFB pretreatment plays a role in this
