Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, induces various biological reactions in vivo. Our previous study suggested that LPS administration disrupts respiratory chain complex activities, enhances react...
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major factor influencing new drug withdrawal; therefore, an appropriate toxicity assessment at the preclinical stage is required. Previous in silico models have been established using compound information list...

Inhibition of bile acid excretion by drugs is a significant factor in the development of drug-induced cholestatic liver injury. We constructed a new in vitro assay system to detect bile acid-dependent cytotoxicity in hepatocytes. This cell-based s...
