Liver Injury, Liver Protection, and Sulfur Metabolism

Mumijo Protection gainst Acetaminophen-Induced Acute Hepatic Injury: Role of Oxidative Stress

Background: A majority of people widely use acetaminophen as a sedative. Overusing the drug for prolonged periods of time can lead to acute liver damage. Mumijo, as a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug, could possibly reduce some of the acetaminophen-induced side effects on the liver. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Mumijo on the liver damage...

Roles of Sulfur Metabolism and Rhodanese in Detoxification and Anti-Oxidative Stress Functions in the Liver: Responses to Radiation Exposure

Organisms must confront various environmental stresses. The liver is central to protecting against such stresses in mammals, and it has many detoxification and anti-oxidative stress functions. Radiation is a source of oxidative stress and is known to affect the liver and induce anti-oxidative responses. The detoxification enzyme rhodanese, which is also called thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST...

Sulfur Amino Acids. Biochemical and Clinical Aspects

This book is the outcome of a symposium on sulfur amino acids, held, by a Japanese research society, in Tokyo in 1982. The papers represent a multidisciplinary approach to biochemistry and biological actions of the sulfur amino acids. The book is divided into several sections. In the first section, the cardiovascular actions of the sulfur amino acids are considered. Although the title of the se...
