Potentiation of the hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride following preexposure to chlordecone (Kepone) in the male rat

TL;DR: The data indicate a great potential for production of severe liver damage resulting from interactions of CCl4 and CD exposure at levels which may be independently nontoxic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytochrome P-450-dependent formation of reactive oxygen radicals: isozyme-specific inhibition of P-450-mediated reduction of oxygen and carbon tetrachloride.

TL;DR: It is concluded that microsomal oxidase activity takes place at physiological concentrations of O2 and that isozyme-specific type II ligands compete with oxygen or carbon tetrachloride for reduction by P-450 haem.

The renal clearances of substituted hippuric acid derivatives and other aromatic acids in dog and man.

TL;DR: Substantially substituted derivatives of hippuric acid which could be determined by appropriate coupling reactions were prepared and studied under conditions permitting the exact comparison of renal clearances with those of diodrast atnd hippuran.

Acetaminophen-induced hepatic necrosis. i. role of drug metabolism

TL;DR: It is proposed thatacetaminophen-induced hepatic necrosis is mediated by a toxic metabolite of acetaminophen, which inhibits synthesis of cytochrome P-450 and thereby prevented the hepatic damage.
