J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2007 Dec;323(3):778-86. Epub 2007 Aug 31.

Separate administration of 4-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl] benzenesulfonami de (SC-236), a selective COX-2 inhibitor, and CJ-13,610, a 5-LO inhibitor, to carbon tetrachloride-treated mice significantly reduced fibrosis as revealed by the analysis of Sirius Red-stained liver sections without affecting necroinflammation.

Aqueous extracts from seeds of Areca catechu L. (Arecaceae) (AC) and nutgalls of Quercus infectoria Oliv. (Fagaceae) (QI) were investigated for their hepatoprotective potential by studying their antioxidant capacity using four different methods, by determining their in vitro anti-inflammatory activity against 5-lipoxygenase, and by evaluating their hepatoprotective potential against liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)) in rats.

Our findings demonstrate that ablation of Alox5 in mice confers protection against carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury since hepatic necroinflammation, inflammatory infiltrate, hepatocyte ballooning and serum ALT levels were significantly reduced in Alox5-deficient mice.

16033810 Titos E, Claria J, Planaguma A, Lopez-Parra M, Gonzalez-Periz A, Gaya J, Miquel R, Arroyo V, Rodes J: Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein abrogates experimental liver injury: role of Kupffer cells. J Leukoc Biol. 2005 Oct;78(4):871-8. Epub 2005 Jul 20.

We have recently demonstrated that 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and its accessory protein, 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP), are essential for the survival of Kupffer cells in culture, as their inhibition drives these liver resident macrophages to programmed cell death.
In the current study, we explored whether the potent FLAP inhibitor, Bay-X-1005, reduces the number of Kupffer cells in vivo and whether this pharmacological intervention protects the liver from carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4))-induced damage.

FASEB J. 2006 Dec;20(14):2537-9. Epub 2006 Oct 20.

In vivo, dietary supplementation of mice with DHA ameliorated carbon tetrachloride-induced necroinflammatory damage.
Consistent with these findings, synthetic 17-HDHA abrogated genotoxic and oxidative damage in hepatocytes and decreased TNF-alpha release and 5-lipoxygenase expression in macrophages.
