## Abstract Chloroquine is a synthetic quinoline being used as an antimalaria and antirheumatoid agent. Several cases of hepatotoxicity have been reported with the use of chloroquine. However, the mechanism(s) of its hepatotoxic effect is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cy

Short periods of ischemia followed up by reperfusion are known to protect the heart against injury caused by a subsequent sustained ischemia. This phenomenon, known as ischemic preconditioning, has also been recently shown to reduce ischemic liver damage, but the mechanisms involved are still unknow
The isolated hepatocyte preparation has become an increasingly popular system for studying xenobiotic metabolism, and there is a need for methods of determining metabolic activity. Described here is a simple and sensitive radiometric assay for barbiturate iV-demethylase activity in the isolated hepa
Isolated rat hepatocytes are used in many metabolic studies, but the viability of these cell preparations is often not adequately established. The present study shows that ATP content is a more reliable index of metabolic viability than trypan blue exclusion. At some of the low trypan blue exclusion
Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential, highly toxic heavy metal and a ubiquitous environmental contaminant. Evidence exists that Cd can affect parameters which are of great importance in the response towards xenobiotics. However, there is a lack of information about the mechanisms that take place at the c
