Core Tip

Core tip: Wild type and Recql5-deficient mice were intraperitoneally injected with lipopolysaccharide and D-galactosamine (LPS/D-Gal). The aim of the study was to explore the effects of Recql5 deficiency on LPS/D-Gal-induced liver injury. Our findings reveal that Recql5 protects against liver injury via inhibition of hepatocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress and regulation of hepatic CYP450 expression levels.
