The liver plays a vital role in metabolism, synthesis, and detoxification, but it is susceptible to damage from various factors such as viral infections, drug reactions, excessive alcohol consumption, and autoimmune diseases. This susceptibility is particularly problematic for patients requiring medication, as drug-induced liver injury often leads to underestimation, misdiagnosis, and difficulties in treatment. Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used and safe drug in therapeutic doses but can cause liver toxicity when taken in excessive amounts. This study aimed to investigate the hepatotoxicity of APAP and explore potential treatment strategies using a mouse model of APAP-induced liver injury. The study involved the evaluation of various natural products for their therapeutic potential. The findings revealed that natural products demonstrated promising hepatoprotective effects, potentially alleviating liver damage and improving liver function through various mechanisms such as oxidative stress and inflammation, which cause changes in signaling pathways. These results underscore the importance of exploring novel treatment options for drug-induced liver injury, suggesting that further research in this area could lead to the development of effective preventive and therapeutic interventions, ultimately benefiting patients with liver injury caused by medicine.
肝脏在新陈代谢、合成和解毒中起着至关重要的作用,但它容易受到各种因素的损害,如病毒感染、药物反应、过量饮酒和自身免疫性疾病。这种易感性对需要药物治疗的患者来说尤其成问题,因为药物性肝损伤常常导致低估、误诊和治疗困难。对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)在治疗剂量下是一种广泛使用且安全的药物,但过量服用会导致肝毒性。本研究旨在使用 APAP 诱导的肝损伤小鼠模型研究 APAP 的肝毒性,并探讨潜在的治疗策略。该研究涉及评估各种天然产物的治疗潜力。研究结果表明,天然产物具有有希望的肝保护作用,可能通过氧化应激和炎症等导致信号通路改变的各种机制减轻肝损伤和改善肝功能。这些结果强调了探索药物性肝损伤新的治疗选择的重要性,表明该领域的进一步研究可能会导致开发有效的预防和治疗干预措施,最终使因药物导致肝损伤的患者受益。
