Paracetamol (200 and 500 mg kg-1) was given intraperitoneally to rats pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene for 3 days. Glutamic oxalacetic acid transaminase (GOT) activity in plasma increased in rats receiving 500 mg kg-1 paracetamol. Plasma GOT activity was low at the dose of 200 mg kg-1, but the same dose to diethyl maleate pretreated rats increased the GOT activity. High mol. wt protein aggregates were found to be formed in liver homogenates and microsomes of rats which showed high plasma GOT activity, accompanied by depletion of hepatic glutathione. The formation of protein aggregates in the liver of rats following large doses of paracetamol suggests a contribution of lipid peroxidation to paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity.
