This study tested the hypothesis that acute iron overload (500 mg/kg) alters Kupffer cell functioning by promoting free radical reactions associated with the respiratory burst of liver macrophages, assessed in the isolated perfused rat liver under conditions of Kupffer cell stimulation by carbon inf

Acetaminophen is a mild analgesic and antipyretic agent known to cause centrilobular hepatic necrosis at toxic doses. Although this may be due to a direct interaction of reactive acetaminophen metabolites with hepatocyte proteins, recent studies have suggested that cytotoxic mediators produced by pa
## Abstract Treatment of rats with 100 mg kg^β1^ __t__βbutyl hydroperoxide led to an enhanced ethane exhalation as a marker of __in vivo__ lipid peroxidation, as well as a moderate hepatoxicity as evidenced by a rise in plasma activities of liverβspecific enzymes (glutamateβpyruvate transaminase an
The intravenous administration of bacterial endotoxin to fasted rats elicited basal portal and systemic venous hyperinsulinemia and hyperglucagonemia. Enhanced pancreatic secretion of insulin and glucagon was implied by the elevated portal venous hormonal levels. Elevated insulin and glucagon levels
