1 Deferoxamine alleviates liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 in rats. Deferoxamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
2 The present study was designed to investigate the potential antifibrotic and anti-oxidant effects of deferoxamine (DFO), a well-known iron chelator in an experimental rat model of liver injury using carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ). Deferoxamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
3 First, the potential effective dose of DFO was screened against CCl4 -induced acute hepatotoxicity. Deferoxamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
4 It was found that treatment of animals with DFO significantly counteracted the changes in liver function; histopathological lesions and hepatic iron deposition that were induced by CCl4 . Deferoxamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
5 DFO also significantly counteracted the CCl4 -induced lipid peroxidation increase and reduction in antioxidant activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase enzymes. Deferoxamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
