1 Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) and its derivative, oxazo pyrroloquinoline (OPQ-G), protected rats from experimental liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in vivo. PQQ Cofactor C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
2 Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) and its derivative, oxazo pyrroloquinoline (OPQ-G), protected rats from experimental liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in vivo. PQQ Cofactor C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
3 This effect was observed after an intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg PQQ or OPQ-G, which was given twice, 10 min and 1 h before CCl4 administration. PQQ Cofactor C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
4 Pyrroloquinoline quinone protected primary cultured rat hepatocytes from CCl4 toxicity in vitro. PQQ Cofactor C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
5 Pyrroloquinoline quinone derivatives (oxazo pyrroloquinoline, methyl-thioethyl oxazo pyrroloquinoline and PQQ-allylester) also protected the hepatocytes from CCl4 toxicity. PQQ Cofactor C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
6 Pyrroloquinoline quinone and its derivatives inhibited the lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence from isolated hepatocytes initiated by CCl4. PQQ Cofactor C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
7 These results suggest that eliminating free radicals is one of the protective mechanisms of PQQ and its derivatives against CCl4-induced liver injury. PQQ Cofactor C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 Rattus norvegicus
