Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which diclofenac-induced hepatotoxicity occurs is unclear, even though covalent modification of proteins by diclofenac metabolites appears to be important in pathogenesis, either by altering protein function or by eliciting an immune response. Adduct formation may be due to metabolism of diclofenac via an alternative pathway rather than via its major 4'-hydroxylation pathway mediated by the...
