Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Although acetaminophen is a commonly used analgesic, it can be highly hepatotoxic. This study seeks to further investigate the mechanisms involved in acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity and the role of chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) receptor/ligand interactions in the liver's response to and recovery from acetaminophen toxicity. The CXC chemokines and their receptor, CXCR2, are important...
