2nd Edition

Toxicology of the Liver

Edited By Gabriel L Plaa, WR Hewitt Copyright 1998

    This second edition looks at the physiologic, biochemical, and morphologic characteristics of hepatotoxicity and includes an analysis of techniques in molecular biology and immunochemistry, among others contributing to the growth in understanding of the toxic events involved. It focuses on clinical characterization of chemical hepatotoxicity, microscopic characteristics of the mechanisms by which chemicals can produce liver injury and experimental models useful for the study of liver dysfunction.
