An Amino Acids Mixture Improves the Hepatotoxicity Induced by Acetaminophen in Mice

Figure 5

Hepatic lipid peroxidation (measured as malondialdehyde; MDA) in mice 8 h after acetaminophen (APAP, 2 mmol/kg ip) administration, alone or in presence of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and a mixture of L-cysteine, L-methionine and L-serine in ratio 2 : 1 : 1 (DDM-GSH). Saline (10 mL/kg), NAC and DDM-GSH were given ip 1 h before APAP. mice/group. , and versus saline; , and versus APAP.
