Spironolactone, a competitive inhibitor of mineralocorticoid effects on the distal tubule of the kidney, has recently been found to have other metabolic effects. In these studies, spironolactone (200mg/kg intraperitoneally) for 3 days was found to have a marked protective effect against the hepatotoxic effect of D-galactosamine (275 mg/kg) in rats. Further progress in defining the mechanism of protection from D-galactosamine hepatic necrosis by spironolactone will require assessment of effects of spironolactone on uridine nucleotide metabolism.

D001647 Bile Acids and Salts Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
D013148 Spironolactone A potassium sparing diuretic that acts by antagonism of aldosterone in the distal renal tubules. It is used mainly in the treatment of refractory edema in patients with congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis. Its effects on the endocrine system are utilized in the treatments of hirsutism and acne but they can lead to adverse effects.
