Journal ArticleDOI

Protection against Acetaminophen Toxicity in CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 Double-Null Mice ☆

TL;DR: The protection against APAP toxicity afforded by deletion of both CYP2E1 and CYP1A2 likely reflects greatly diminished production of the toxic electrophile, NAPQI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced Hepatotoxicity of Acetaminophen in Mice Lacking Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase: Potential Role of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Interleukin-10

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that nitric oxide is important in hepatotoxicity induced by acetaminophen, and some of its effects may be mediated by altering production of pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines and proteins important in tissue repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification, antibody production, and partial amino acid sequence of the 58-kDa acetaminophen-binding liver proteins.

TL;DR: The amino acid sequence of two cyanogen bromide/tryptic peptide fragments revealed that the major immunochemically detectable acetaminophen target in the cytosol is homologous to a selenium-binding protein which has been recently sequenced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of acetaminophen-cysteine to acetaminophen nephrotoxicity in CD-1 mice: I. Enhancement of acetaminophen nephrotoxicity by acetaminophen-cysteine.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that APAP-CYS treatment alone depleted renal but not hepatic glutathione (GSH) in a dose-responsive manner, suggesting that depletion of renal GSH may predispose the kidney to APAP nephrotoxicity by diminishing GSH-mediated detoxification mechanisms.
