Abstract |
The study was conducted to determine whether, and by what mechanisms, time of exposure could influence the ability of a model hepatotoxin, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) to cause liver injury. Rats dosed orally with CCl4 during their active/dark cycle were found to be more susceptible to liver injury than rats dosed during their inactive/light cycle. There was greater hepatic microsomal uptake and metabolism of CCl4 in rats dosed during their active cycle. |
