β¦ Synopsis
Protection from carbon tetrachloride ( CCIJ-induced hepatotoxicity by protein A was assessed histologically in rats. Carbon tetrachloride exposure produced swollen, vacuolated and necrotic cells in the centrilobular region of the hepatocyte in rats. Animals given protein A prior to and during CCl, treatment showed a complete absence of hepatic lesions. Our study showed that protein A, a potent irnmunornodulator, has the potential to reduce liver injury caused by carbon tetrachloride, a known hepatotoxin in the rat.

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
Previous studies have shown that a-tocopherol (vitamin E) pretreatment of experimental animals can protect against acute liver necrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride. In this study we investigated whether the increase of vitamin E liver content by dietary supplementation influences chronic liver d
