Acute Hepatitis E Infection Accounts for Some Cases of Suspected Drug-Induced Liver Injury

TLDR
HEV infection contributes to a small but important proportion of cases of acute liver injury that are suspected to be drug induced, andSerologic testing for HEV infection should be performed, particularly if clinical features are compatible with acute viral hepatitis.

Protective Effect of Gemfibrozil on Hepatotoxicity Induced by Acetaminophen in Mice: the Importance of Oxidative Stress Suppression.

TL;DR: Investigation of the protective effect of GEM on acute liver toxicity induced by acetaminophen in mice demonstrated that GEM has antioxidant properties and can protect the liver from APAP toxicity, just in the same pathway that toxicity occurs by toxic ROS.
