Abstract (2. Language):
Twelve adult and twelve new-bom male Wistar albino rats were used in this study. In each group, five rats received 300 mg/kg and five 500 mg/kg doses of acetaminophen intraperitoneaily. After 8 hours animals were killed with decapitation. There was small number of necrotic cells in the livers of 300 mg/kg acetaminophen administered new-born rats whereas 500 mg/kg acetaminophen administered rats developed mild hepatic necrosis. In adult rats received 300 mg/kg of acetaminophen there was moderate and received 500 mg/kg of acetaminophen there was severe hepatic necrosis. So, the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen was age and dose-dependent. Ultraslruciurally, the liver of the new-bom rats exposed to toxic doses of acetaminophen contained areas of prominent intercellular spaces, In both groups the hepatocytes were swollen and had ruptured cytoplasmic membranes and disrupted internal structures. Membranes of endoplasmic reticulum were disrupted and endoplasmic reticulum was fragmented. Membranous debris was present in the intercellular spaces. In the 500 mg/kg acetaminophen group cytoplasmic membrane damage and the cell swelling were greatly increased and ioss of cytosol was observed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ultrastrcictural study performed to investigate the alterations caused by acetaminophen in new-born liver. We suggest that acetaminophen causes hepatic necrosis and irreversible changes at an earlier postnatal age within a shorter time and by administering lower toxic doses than that of previously reported
