Affect of liver transcriptome by acute acetaminophen exposure [miRNA]. Mus musculus

To study the global changes of liver transcriptome after acetaminophen overdose. Overall design: To study the global changes of transcriptome in the liver after acetaminophen overdose. Eight week old female C57BL/6 mice were fasted for 24 hours prior to a single intraperitoneal injection of 350mg/kg of acetaminophen in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) (treatment group) or PBS (control group). The mice were euthanized at different time points post exposure; plasma and tissue samples were collected for pathological examination and biochemical analyses.
