Abstract
A line of research from our laboratory has been concerned, for several years, with the pathogenetic mechanisms of the liver damage produced by glutathione (GSH)-depleting agents. The present report deals with the main results obtained in in vivo studies with the use of the prototype aryl halide, bromobenzene.
