Abstract

Objective : This study was performed to investigate the activity of Whagan-Jeon(huaganjian) in the protection against acetaminophen(AAP)-induced hepatoxicity and the possible mechanisms in vivo.Methods : The following were performed; Serum ALT, depletion of hepatic glutathione(GSH) levels, the microsomal p-nitrophenol hydroxylation activity, microsomal aniline hydroxylation activity, genomic DNA fragmentation and its reversal, hepatic glutathione-S-transferase(GST) activity, and hepatic NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (QR) activityResults : Whagan-Jeon(huaganjian) protected against AAP-induced hepatotoxicity by the increase of GSH levels, inhibition of P450 2E1-specific metabolic activities, attenuation of hepatic DNA damage, and induction of GST and QR activities in vivo. Conclusions : In conclusion, Whagan-Jeon(huaganjian) was effective in protection against AAP-induced hepatoxicity
