The reactive oxygen species-sensitive transcription nuclear factor-B (NF-B) plays a pivotal role in the development of acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity. We investigated the efficacy of a diverse series of antioxidants in preventing APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. BALB/c mice were divided into four g

## Abstract A series of double‐prodrugs of L‐cysteine, designed to release L‐cysteine in vivo and stimulate the biosynthesis of glutathione (GSH), were synthesized. To evaluate the hepatoprotective effectiveness of these double‐prodrugs, male Swiss‐Webster mice were administered acetaminophen (ACP)
We previously reported that liver natural killer (NK) and NKT cells play a critical role in mouse model of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury by producing interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and modulating chemokine production and subsequent recruitment of neutrophils into the liver. In this report,
## Abstract Mice pretreated with the peroxisome proliferator clofibrate (CFB) are highly resistant to acetaminophen (APAP)‐induced 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
Recent observations suggest that products of nonparenchymal liver cells such as eicosanoids and cytokines might play a role in the expression of liver injury after administration of acetaminophen and other noxious agents. We therefore investigated the effect of a fish oil diet, which results in the
