Abstract
Background and aim: There is substantial experimental evidence that the amino acid glycine may have a role in protecting tissues against insults such as ischemia, hypoxia and reperfusion. Our aim was to investigate the ability of the amino acid glycine to prevent hepatic damage induced by injection of lipopolysaccharide and d‐galactosamine (d‐Gal), to modulate pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokine levels, and to improve survival.
