Chlorination of drinking water results in the formation of chlorodibromomethane, bromodichloromethane and bromoform. These trihalomethanes have all shown evidence of genotoxicity in bacterial and mammalian cell systems in vitro and some evidence of carcinogenicity in rodents. Chlorodibromomethane and bromodichloromethane have

Recent studies indicate that metabolic oxidative stress, autophagy, and inflammation are hallmarks of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) progression. However, the molecular mechanisms that link these important events in NASH remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the mechanistic role of purinergic
