Carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) is a model for studying free radical-induced liver injury and screening hepato-protective drugs. Numerous studies have reported the involvement of oxidative stress in CCl 4 -induced liver damage and the hepato-protective effects mediated by different antioxidants. The p

Chlordecone greatly potentiates carbon tetrachloride (CC14) hepatotoxicity. In order to quantitate the degree of this potentiation, the effects of a range of doses of C C 4 on two microsomal enzymatic functions and liver enzyme release were examined in chlordecone-treated and control rats. Male Spra
This study was planned to investigate the protective effect of l(+)-ascorbic acid (Vit C) on CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in the liver of Wistar rats (Rattus Norvegicus, strain Wistar). Twenty-four adult male Wistar rats were fed with standard rat chow diet for 10 days and rand
We have shown, using the proline:ornithine dual label method, that in normal rats, hepatocytes contribute in vivo about 80 to 90% of the newly synthesized hepatic collagen. In order to quantify the contribution of hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells to collagen synthesis in vivo in hepatic fibrogen
Several low-molecular weight halocarbons have been shown to cause full-litter resorption (FLR), i.e., pregnancy loss, in Fischer-344 rats treated during organogenesis. To determine periods of gestation sensitive to acute exposure, a single dose of 150 mg carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )/kg was administ
