Abstract
Hepatic glutathione level depleted by APAP was only slightly increased by the substances tested. The cytochrome P450 contents, and the activities of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and two monooxygenases were not affected by the extracts and isocytisoside. It can be concluded that the protective ability of the substances tested in APAP-induced liver injury is mediated by amelioration of microsomal lipid peroxidation and restoring antioxidant enzymes activity. Inhibition of enzymes responsible for metabolic activation of APAP is not involved in this process.
