Acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity in primary mouse hepatocytes occurs in two phases. The initial phase (0-2 h) occurs with metabolism to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine which depletes glutathione, and covalently binds to proteins, but little toxicity is observed. Subsequent washing of hepatocytes to remove

Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver toxicity occurs with formation of APAP-protein adducts. These adducts are formed by hepatic metabolism of APAP to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine, which covalently binds to hepatic proteins as 3-(cystein-S-yl)-APAP adducts. Adducts are released into blood during hepatocyte lysis. We
