Effects of Dietary Components on Testosterone Metabolism via UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase
THE POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE IN TESTOSTERONE METABOLISM THROUGH INGESTED SUBSTANCES HAS RAMIFICATIONS FOR: (i) a range of pathologies such as prostate cancer, (ii) medication contra-indications, (iii) disruption to the endocrine system, and (iv) potential confounding effects on doping tests. Conjugation of anabolic steroids during phase II metabolism, mainly driven by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase ...
متن کاملJoint effects between UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A7 genotype and dietary carcinogen exposure on risk of colon cancer.
The UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A7 (UGT1A7) gene is polymorphic and encodes an enzyme involved in the detoxification of heterocyclic amines (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Consumption of pan-fried and well-done meat are surrogates for HCA and PAH exposure and are possibly associated with colon cancer. We have evaluated whether UGT1A7 allelic variations are associated with col...
متن کاملEffects of ketoconazole on glucuronidation by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes.
PURPOSE Ketoconazole has been shown to inhibit the glucuronidation of the UGT2B7 substrates zidovudine and lorazepam. Its effect on UGT1A substrates is unclear. A recent study found that coadministration of irinotecan and ketoconazole led to a significant increase in the formation of SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecine), an UGT1A substrate. This study investigates whether ketoconazole contri...
متن کاملXenobiotic Metabolism in Mice Lacking the UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 2 Family.
UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) conjugate a glucuronyl group from glucuronic acid to a wide range of lipophilic substrates to form a hydrophilic glucuronide conjugate. The glucuronide generally has decreased bioactivity and increased water solubility to facilitate excretion. Glucuronidation represents an important detoxification pathway for both endogenous waste products and xenobiotics, in...
متن کاملPiscine UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1B.
Glucuronidation is an important detoxification pathway for organic pollutants in fish. We report here the isolation and characterisation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) genes from the closely related marine flatfish, plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and flounder (Platichthys flesus). The deduced amino acid sequences share greater similarity with mammalian UGT1 family genes than UGT2 genes (...
