In vitro and in silico approaches for analyzing the toxicological effect of triptolide on cx43 in sertoli cells.

abstract：:How triptolide is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in connection with its hepatotoxicity remains unclear. The objective of our study was to find out the link between mitochondrial dynamics and cell death in triptolide induced hepatotoxicity. We treated L02 cells with 25 nM concentration of tript...
