• Abstract:

  Tetrandrine possesses a potential hepatotoxicity, while its mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here we reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS) from cytochrome P450 (CYP450) plays an important role in mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) induced by tetrandrine. Using primary rat hepatocytes as a model, we found that vitamine C and other ..
