The toxicity of acetaminophen and N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine in isolated hepatocytes is associated with thiol depletion and increased cytosolic Ca2+.

The effects of acetaminophen and its major toxic metabolite, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), have been investigated in hepatocytes isolated from 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated and -untreated rats, respectively.
