Аннотация
Neopterin is synthesized in macrophage/Kupffer cells by interferon-gamma and other cytokines. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of using neopterin as a biomarker of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury. Wistar rats, randomly divided into two groups (APAP and normal), received APAP (1.0 g/kg) and distilled water, respectively, by gastric tube. The APAP group had a higher degree of liver necrosis than the control group. The APAP group also had significantly higher serum neopterin levels than the normal group. Serum neopterin levels correlated with serum AST, ALT activities, and degree of necrosis. This study demonstrates the preclinical utility of neopterin as a biomarker for the animal model of APAP-induced liver injury. Further research studies are required to determine the preclinical opportunities of using neopterin as a marker of APAP-induced liver injury.
