Q

13-3 Factors in the Site-specific injury of representative hepatotoxicants

Site:
Zone 1 hepatocytes (vs Zone 3)

A

Representative toxicants:

Q

13-3 Factors in the Site-specific injury of representative hepatotoxicants

Site: Zone 3 hepatocytes (vs Zone 1)

A

Representative toxicants:
CCl4
Acetaminophen
Ethanol

Potential explanation for site-specificity:
More P450 isozyme for bioactivation
More P450 isozyme for bioactivation and less GSH for detoxification
More hypoxic and greater imbalance in bioactivation/detoxification reactions
