Depression of hepatic microsomal enzyme systems by lentinan in mice.
Studies were performed to determine the effects of an immunopotentiating agent, lentinan, on the hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes in mice. Lentinan was injected twice a day for two days, and the enzyme activities were determined 12 hr after the last injection of lentinan. A lentinan dose of over 0.25 mg/kg was required to cause a significant decrease (20-40%) in the hepatic microsomal aminopyr...
متن کاملChanges of serum level of acetylcholinesterase enzyme in lipopolysaccharide-induced model of depression in mice
Background and Objective: Depression is a common disorder, especially in developed countries. Functional changes of cholinesterase are involved in pathogenesis of some brain disorders. Until now, exact association of these changes with depression has not been determined. This study was conducted to evaluate the changes of serum cholinesterase in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced model of depress...
متن کاملInduction of hepatic glutathione S-transferases in male mice by prototypes of various classes of microsomal enzyme inducers.
The underlying need for glutathione S-transferase (Gst) induction is thought to be an adaptive response to chemical stress within the cell. Classical microsomal enzyme inducers (MEIs) increase the expression of biotransformation enzymes (phase I and II) and transporters through transcription factors, such as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), pregnane X...
متن کاملIn vitro reduction of zearalenone to β-zearalenol by rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hepatic microsomal and post-mitochondrial subfractions
Mycoestrogen zearalenone (ZEA) is found in human foods and animal feeds. Its estrogenic potencymainly depends on its biotransformation fate. The hepatic biotransformation of ZEA in rainbow trout wasinvestigated in this study. Various concentrations of ZEA were separately incubated with the hepaticmicrosomal and post-mitochondrial sub-fractions in the presence of NADPH, and the metabolites wered...
متن کاملRegulation of sulfotransferase enzymes by prototypical microsomal enzyme inducers in mice.
In the present study, the regulation of the mRNA of 11 sulfotransferases (Sults) and two 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase (PAPSs) isozymes by 15 microsomal enzyme inducers (MEI) in livers of male mice and five MEIs in livers of female mice was examined. These MEIs represent the transcriptionally mediated pathways: aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), pregnane X receptor (PXR), constit...
