TL;DR: It is suggested that sarcoidlike tissue reaction can be an early manifestation of Whipple's disease, recognition of which may have practical value in facilitating an early diagnosis and treatment.

TL;DR: The mechanism of the protective effect of induced HT on hepatic toxicity of AAP was attributed to induction of increased hepatic GSH levels resulting in decreased covalentbinding of a toxic metabolite of AAP, and enhanced glucuronidation may prevent either formation or binding of a reactive metabolite to hepatocytes, and prevention of inflammatory reaction to necrotic liver tissue.

TL;DR: Ovariectomy of female rats tended to increase susceptibility to hepatotoxicity in comparison to their respective controls, and aside from the reported sex differences in the cytochrome P-450-dependent MFO enzymes, there are significant differences in GSH utilization.

TL;DR: In vitro cholesterol esterification was found linearly related to plasma-free cholesterol, and the molar percent of bile acids, TC and TPL as well as the lithogenic index in both hepatic and gallbladder bile were also unaltered by 4 weeks of lecithin supplementation.

TL;DR: Impaired mucosal transport of long-chain fatty acid in patients with liver cirrhosis contributes to fat malabsorption and malnutrition in these patients, and it is suggested that this abnormality is related to portal or lymphatic hypertension.
