Popis: Hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was caused by its lipoperoxidative action. Administration of α-tocopherol, a conventional anti-oxidant, was revealed to be effective in preventing liver injury induced by CCl4. We demonstrated that Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has anti-oxidative activity, as well as α-tocopherol. This experiment was done to investigate whether or not CoQ10 prevents liver injury induced by CCl4.
