Abstract: Thioacetamide (TAA) is a hepatotoxin frequently used for experimental purposes which produces centrilobular necrosis after a single dose administration. In spite of the fact that oxidative stress seems to play a very important role in the mechanism of TAA-induced injury, the effect of TAA on hepatocytes in primary culture with respect to the influence on mitochondria has yet to be verified. Hepatocytes were incubated for 24h in a medium containing TAA (0-70 mmol/l). Glutathione content (GSH/GSSG), reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde formation were assessed as markers of cell redox state. Toxicity was determined by lactate dehydrogenase leakage and WST-1 assay. The functional capacity of hepatocytes was evaluated from albumin and urea production. Mitochondrial metabolism was assessed by measuring mitochondrial membrane potential and oxygen consumption. Our results show that a profound decrease in the GSH level in hepatocytes precedes a sharp rise in endogenous ROS production. ROS production correlates with an increase in lipoperoxidation. Mitochondria are affected by TAA secondarily as a consequence of oxidative stress. Oxidation of the NADH-dependent substrates of respiratory Complex I is significantly more sensitive to the toxic action of TAA than oxidation of the flavoprotein-dependent substrate of Complex II. Mitochondria can also maintain their membrane potential better when they utilize succinate as a respiratory substrate. It appears that GSH should be depleted below a certain critical level in order to cause a marked increase in lipid peroxidation. Mitochondrial injury can then occur and cell death develops. • Keywords: Hepatotoxicity
