Sesamin Protects against APAP-Induced Acute Liver Injury by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response via Deactivation of HMGB1/TLR4/NFκB Signal in Mice

Figure 3

Effects of sesamin on the CYP2E1, protein adduct, and GSH caused by APAP: (a) hepatic CYP2E1 mRNA; (b) hepatic CYP2E1 protein expression; (c) quantification of hepatic CYP2E1 protein expression; (d) hepatic APAP-CYS was analyzed by HPLC-ECD; (e) hepatic GSH content. Data were expressed as mean ± SD; sesamin group mice were oral gavage with 100 mg/kg sesamin, APAP group mice were intraperitoneally injected with 350 mg/kg APAP for 24 hr, sesamin + APAP group mice received oral gavages of sesamin 100 mg/kg at 16.5, 8.5, and 0.5 hr for three times before 350 mg/kg APAP administration (biological repeats n = 6), ## compared with the control group, no statistical difference (n.s.) compared with APAP group.
