Abstract

Chemical-induced liver injury can be manifested in a number of ways, such as cholestasis, steatosis, fibrosis, and cancer. The mechanisms driving these toxicological processes have been well characterized and have been embedded in adverse outcome pathway frameworks in recent years. This article provides a concise overview of these constructs.

Keywords: AOP; cancer; cholestasis; fibrosis; hepatotoxicity; steatosis.
