What happens when you take paracetamol? π
Your liver gets to work breaking it down into harmless bits. But hereβs the twist...
Those bits need a taxi (yep, a molecule called glutathione) to get out via your kidneys. π
Take too much paracetamol and you run out of taxis. One nasty leftover β NAPQI β kicks off like a drunk at a party. It starts damaging your liver cells. π¬
But science is awesome β weβve got a backup plan: N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which helps make more taxis to clear out the chaos.
Moral of the story? Stick to the right dosage and marvel at how clever your body really is. π₯

π Want to be a Biomedical Scientist in the NHS? Here's Step 1β¦
If you're serious about becoming a biomedical scientist, your degree must be accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
Why? Because without it, you canβt register with the HCPCβand without that, no NHS job.
π₯ In this video, Iβll show you how to check if a course is accredited and where to find the full list on the IBMS website.
π Watch now, save yourself a costly mistake later.
