Role of inflammation in chemical-induced hepatotoxicity

Toxicology Letters
M I LusterB Yucesoy

Abstract

The liver, which is the major organ responsible for the metabolism of drugs and toxic chemicals, is also the primary target organ for many toxic chemicals. Increasing evidence has indicated that inflammatory processes are intimately involved in chemical-induced hepatotoxic processes, and like other inflammatory diseases, such as autoimmunity, are responsible for producing mediators that can effect liver damage or repair. This review will summarize our current understanding of how inflammatory processes influence hepatic pathology and repair following exposure to established hepatotoxic chemicals including carbon tetrachloride, an industrial chemical, and acetaminophen, a widely used analgesic.

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells causing the liver to be inflamed. Discover the latest research on autoimmune hepatitis here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
