Abstrakt: Abstract  Single intravenous injection of paclitaxel to rats in a maximum tolerated dose of 4.6 mg/kg was accompanied by permanent structural and functional changes in the liver. The observed changes were typical of nonspecific reactive hepatitis: infiltration with lymphocytes and macrophages, pyknosis, and focal fatty degeneration of hepatocytes. Liver enzyme activity increased in blood plasma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
