eng The effect of thioacetamide on rat liver in vitro and in vivo. Thioacetamide (TAA) is hepatotoxin and hepatocarcinogen frequently used for experimental purposes. Single dose of this hepatotoxin could produce centrilobular necrosis with subsequent regenerative response. The precise mechanism of its toxic effect is not fully understood. The aim of this work was to study the effect of TAA in vitro and after single dose in vivo. Our results indicate that TAA inhibits to a greater extent the oxidation of NADH-dependent respiratory substrates (70 mM TAA - 25%) than oxidation of flavoprotein-dependent substrate succinate (70 mM - 45%). The signs of regenerative response were observed after 48 hours. Mitochondrial respiration activated by NADH-dependent dehydrogenases was decreased only after 24 hours (70%) and the activity of succinate dehydrogenases was not influences in any time interval. It seems that modulation of substrate specificity could be interesting strategy to supply energy demand in regenerating liver.
