The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vivo effect of high chlorpromazine (CPZ) doses on hepatocellular function. Thirty male Wistar rats weighing 200 to 250 g were divided into two groups: control (C, N = 17), injected ip with saline, and CPZ (N = 13), injected ip with high chlorpromazine doses (initial dose of 30 mg/kg body weight followed by daily doses of 10 mg/kg for 7 days). No significant differences in serum levels of alanine-aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin or in mitochondrial function (activated and basal respiration and mitochondrial respiration control (activated/basal ratio) were detected between the two groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

D002746 Chlorpromazine The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.
