Acetaminophen‐induced hepatic injury: Protective role of glutathione in man and rationale for therapy
Abstract
Recent studies of acetaminophen‐induced liver damage in animals indicate that acetaminophen is converted in the liver to a chemically reactive arylating agent that normally is detoxified by conjugation with glutathione. When the dose of acetaminophen is large enough to deplete hepatic glutathione, however, there is extensive arylation of hepatic macromolecules and cell death. This paper presents evidence that administration of glutathione‐like nucleophiles, such as cysteamine, protects mice from arylation of hepatic macromolecules, hepatic necrosis, and death caused by the reactive acetaminophen metabolite. Additional studies indicate that glutathione may serve a similar protective function in man as in other animals. Thus, logical treatment of patients overdosed with acetaminophen might be based on cysteamine or other nucleophiles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
