A randomized sampling protocol coupled with quantitative morphometry has been used to evaluate the inter-lobe variation in centrilobular hepatic necrosis in the mouse, and periportal hepatic necrosis in the beta-naphthoflavone-induced rat, both in response to treatment with coumarin. The results of these studies indicate a random inter-lobe variation in xenobiotic-mediated hepatotoxicity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
