Hepatoprotective Role of α-Lipoic acid and Thymoquinone in Acetaminophen- Induced Liver Injury: Down-Regulation of COX-2 and flt-1 Expression

ABSTRACT Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely-used analgesic, while toxic doses of which induce liver injury. Inducible cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is derived prostaglandins which play an anti-inflammatory role in acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. Selective activation of vascular endothelial growth fac...
