Numerous substances induce oxidative stress, including carbon tetrachloride, TBH, ethanol, paracetamol (acetaminophen) and phenylhydrazine. It has been shown in rats that silibinin protects ...
The researchers injected both transgenic and wild-type mice with carbon tetrachloride, which induces liver fibrosis via increased formation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Carbon tetrachloride has four polar covalent bonds. It is a tetrahedral molecule, so the charges are symmetrical. The \(\delta+\) part of the molecule (the carbon atom) is locked away at the ...
