Ginsenoside Rk1 ameliorates acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in mice through inhibition of inflammation, oxidative stress, nitrative stress and apoptosis

Frequent overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) has become the major cause of acute liver injury (ALI). The present study was designed to evaluate the potential protective effects of ginsenoside Rk1 on APAP-induced hepatotoxicity and investigate the underlying mechanisms for the first time.
