Cyclosporin a hepatotoxicity in 66 renal allograft recipients [PDF]
Liver functional abnormalities were seen in 13 (19.7%) of 66 recipients of cadaveric renal homografts treated with cyclosporin A and prednisone. However, such presumed hepatotoxicity was a minor problem in the use of cyclosporin A.

Studies on hepatotoxicity induced by chlorinated hydrocarbons. II. Lipid metabolism and absorption spectrum of microsomal lipid in the mice exposed to 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrachloroethane [PDF]
Female Cb mice weighing 20-23 g were exposed to 800 ppm (in average) of 1, I, 2, 2.tetrachloroethane for 3 hours. Both triglyceride and phospholipid in the liver and plasma were determined at varying times after the exposure.
