Kamrul M. Hasan, Theodore C. Friedman, Xuesi Shao, Meher Parveen, Carl Sims, Desean L. Lee, Jorge Espinoza‐Derout, Indrani Sinha‐Hikim, Amiya P. Sinha‐Hikim – 21 January 2019 – The use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), also known as e‐cigarettes, with a variety of e‐liquids/e‐juices, is increasing at an alarming rate among adolescents who do not realize the potential harmful health effects. This study examines the harmful effects of ENDS on the liver.

Grégory Merlen, Valérie‐Ann Raymond, Shamir Cassim, Pascal Lapierre, Marc Bilodeau – 21 January 2019 – Liver ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is an important cause of liver damage especially early after liver transplantation, following liver resection, and in other clinical situations. Using rat experimental models, we identified oxaloacetate (OAA) as a key metabolite able to protect hepatocytes from hypoxia and IRI. In vitro screening of metabolic intermediates beneficial for hepatocyte survival under hypoxia was performed by measures of cell death and injury.
