Clinical correlation between serum cytokines and the susceptibility to <i>Polygonum multiflorum</i>-induced liver injury and an experimental study

Abstract

-stilbene glucoside, could cause liver injury in the mice pre-stimulated using TNF-α. Conversely, administration of the same dose of drugs on control mice did not show any hepatotoxicity. In conclusion, immune perturbation mainly mediated by TNF-α may regulate the susceptibility to PM-induced liver injury. This provides a new perspective for the study of susceptibility to IDILI.
