TLDR
A principal amide constituent, piperine, dose-dependently inhibited increase in serum GPT and GOT levels at doses of 2.5-10 mg/kg (p.o.) in D-GalN/LPS-treated mice, and this inhibitory effect was suggested to depend on the reduced sensitivity of hepatocytes to TNF-alpha.

Tumor necrosis factor is a terminal mediator in galactosamine/endotoxin-induced hepatitis in mice.

TL;DR: It is concluded that tumor necrosis factor alpha is likely to act as a final mediator of endotoxin action in a sequence of events which includes formation of leukotriene D4 and reactive oxygen species.

Tumor Necrosis Factor-induced Toxic Liver Injury Results from JNK2-dependent Activation of Caspase-8 and the Mitochondrial Death Pathway

TL;DR: Toxic liver injury is associated with JNK over-activation and mediated by JNK2 promotion of caspase-8 activation and the TNF mitochondrial death pathway through a mechanism independent of c-Jun kinase activity.
