This study was aimed to investigate the relation of glutathione S-transferase pI (GSTP1) and cytochrome P450 enzyme 2E1 (CYP2E1) gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility to acute leukemia (AL) in Chinese population. The GSFP1 and CTP2E1 gene polymorphisms in 150 patients with AL and 150 patients with non-hematological diseases or non-tumor as controls were detected by means of case-control paired 1:1 method and ligase detection reaction (LDR) techniques. The results indicated that the frequently of G allele and Ile/Val + Val/Val of GSTP1 gene (26.7%and 44% respectively) in AL group were higher than those in control group (10% and 16% respectively); the AL risk for persons with Ile/Val + Val/Val was 3.260-fold (95%CI = 1.527 - 5.236) of persons with Ile/Ile. The further stratified analysis showed the frequency of Ile/Val + Val/Val in AML group was higher than that in control group (55% vs 16%, p < 0.05); the AML risk for persons with Ile/Val + Val/Val was 2.214-fold (95% CI = 1.009-3.260) as persons with Ile/Ile. The frequencies of C2 allele (16.7%) and C1C2/C2C2 of CYP2E1 gene (30%) in AL group seemed higher than those in control groups (13.9% and 26%), but the difference between them was not statistical significant (p > 0.05). The further stratified analysis showed that C1C2/C2C2 of CYP2E1 gene occurred more frequently in AML group (36%) than that in control group (32%), but there was no statistical difference between them (p > 0.05). Combined genotype analysis showed that the AML risk for persons in combination of lle/Val + Val/Val of GSTP1 gene with C1C2 + C2C2 of CYP2E1 gene increased by 3.208-fold. It is concluded that the GSTP1 gene is related with susceptibility to AML, the AL risk for persons with lle/Val + Val/Val of GSTP1 gene decreased, while CYP2E1 gene is not related with susceptibility to AL, the AML risk for persons in combination of GSTP1 wildtype with CYP2E1 hybrid and mutant genotype can be further decreased.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important and common adverse drug event. Rhododendron molle Flos (RMF), as one of toxic Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), holds a prominent position in clinical practice for treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, the toxicity of RMF limits its safe.

Hyperlipidemia is a major contributor to metabolic complications and tissue damage, leading to conditions such as liver steatosis, atherosclerosis, and obesity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of aqueous artichoke bract extract (AE) on lipid metabolism, liver antioxidative defense, and liver steatosis in mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet while elucidating the underlying mechanisms. An 8-week study used hyperlipidemic mice treated with AE at daily doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg bw, compared to fenofibrate.

The roots of Coleus vettiveroides (CV) have been traditionally used in Indian medicinal systems such as Ayurveda and Siddha for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic effects. This study examines the antifibrotic potential of CV ethanolic root extract (CVERE) against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis in Wistar rats. TAA was administered via i.

Hepatic drug intoxication is becoming increasingly common with the increasing use of chronic medications. Piperine has emerged as a promising alternative for protecting the liver against drug-induced injury. We evaluated the prophylactic effects of piperine in C57BL/6 mice with an acute liver injury induced by a paracetamol (APAP) overdose.
