Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Antituberculosisdrug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) is a common and sometimes serious side effect related to tuberculosis (TB) treatment. A number of risk factors and host genetics contribute to the development of ATDH. However, genetic factors of ATDH remain to be identified. Silent Information Regulator 1 (SIRT1), an essential metabolism gene, was proved to be involved in ATDH in mice. The aim of this...
