Table I.

Proposed extra-hepatic adverse effects of APAP

Toxicity Evidence Proposed mechanisms Comments
Renal Clinical and rodent studies Protein binding, ɤ-glutamyl cycling Strong human and rodent data
Pulmonary Epidemiology, limited preclinical studies GSH depletion, oxidative stress, neurogenic inflammation Better study designs needed
Endocrine Epidemiology, limited preclinical studies Altered sex steroid metabolism, inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis Conflicting human and experimental data
Ototoxicity Case reports, limited preclinical studies Oxidative stress, ER stress Strong human data, conflicting experimental data
Neurobehavioral Epidemiology, limited preclinical studies Endocrine disruption, endocannabinoid signaling, direct neurotoxicity Better study designs needed
