Both human porphyria cutanea tarda and experimental hexachlorobenzene-induced porphyria are associated with hepatic injury and are potentiated by excess hepatic iron. The mechanisms whereby cellular injury occurs and the synergistic role of iron overload are unknown. In the present experiments, we s
To study the effect of iron-overload on hepatic lipid peroxidation, two rat models of haemochromatosis were employed: in the first model resembling secondary haemochromatosis, repeated i.p. injections with Fe-dextran led to an accumulation of Fe in Kupffer cells, while in the second model resembling
In both hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC) and in the various forms of secondary hemochromatosis, there is a pathological expansion of total body iron stores, due mainly to an inappropriate increase in absorption of dietary iron (1-3). The liver is the major recipient of this excess absorbed iron, and
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible mechanism by which endotoxin enhances peroxidative damage to membrane lipids. Male B6C3 mice were treated with endotoxin intraperitoneally 0 or 20 mg/kg body weight for 24 h. Freshly prepared liver homogenate was incubated with either 1-5 mM
## Abstract To investigate the relationship of hepatic signal intensity and T2 with histologic grading in an animal model of oral iron overload and to determine the duration of feeding necessary to produce abnormalities detectable on magnetic resonance (MR) images, hepatic iron overload was induced
