Effect of Taurine on the toxicity induced by chronic CCl4 injection. (A) Flowchart of treatment group. (B)The changes in body weight after CCl4 injection with taurine drinking. Body weight was monitored after CCl4 injection. Taurine treatment by drinking water was started from 4th week of CCl4 administration indicated by arrow. n = 4. (C,D) Hepatic MDA level (C) and taurine concentration (D) were measured. Values shown represent means ± SD. n = 4. ∗∗p < 0.01 (post-hoc Bonferroni test). Similar results were observed in another independent experiment as shown in supplemental material.
