Randomized trial examines R-ALA's protective effects on acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice, suggesting therapeutic potential.

To investigate the protective effects of R-ALA against acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in mice.
Adult male mice were randomly divided into five groups: control, APAP, R-ALA, repeated R-ALA + APAP, single R-ALA + APAP.
Mice received APAP orally at 500 mg/kg and R-ALA at 100 mg/kg.
Blood and liver samples were collected 24 hours post-APAP administration for biomarker analysis.
APAP increased ALT from 7.49 to 29.46 and AST from 11.10 to 32.49, signaling liver injury.
R-ALA pretreatment significantly reduced ALT and AST levels compared to APAP group, indicating protective effects.
Mice treated with R-ALA showed reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory markers post-APAP administration.
