Acetaminophen causes liver toxicity in adult zebrafish. Adult zebrafish were exposed to APAP for 24 h. (A) Total liver GSH was significantly diminished after exposure to 10 mM APAP. *t test, P d 0.001, n e 4. (B) ALT levels were measured 6 hpe to 5, 10, and 25 mM APAP. *Significant vs. control. **Significant vs. 5 mM, ANOVA, P < 0.01, n = 20/sample for three replicates. (Inset) ALT levels measured over time after exposure to 5 and 10 mM APAP rose over the first 24 hpe (n e 10/measurement). (C) Effects of increasing APAP doses on liver histology; hepatocyte necrosis, sinusoidal widening, and focal hemorrhage can be seen.
