Oxidant stress-induced liver injury in vivo: role of apoptosis, oncotic necrosis, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase activation
9 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Oxidant stress is critically involved in various liver diseases. Superoxide formation causes c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK)- and caspase-dependent apoptosis in cultured hepatocytes. To verify these findings in vivo, male Fisher rats were treated with diquat and menadione. The oxidant stress induced by both compounds was confirmed by increased formation of glutathione disulfide and 4-hydroxynonenal protein...
