Summary Galactosamine, a selective hepatotoxin, produces in rats histologic alterations, which show the characteristics of severe human viral hepatitis. In the present study the efficacy of two different cofactor regimens (coenzyme A, NAD, alpha lipoic-acid, cocarboxylase) in rats with fulminant galactosamine hepatitis were tested. The results showed an improvement of the short-term survival with a short-term treatment and definitely better survival with a long-term regimen with cofactors.
