Hormonal regulation of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activity during adolescence.
Activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) are known to change throughout the course of physical and sexual maturation, with the greatest variability noted during infancy and adolescence. The mechanisms responsible for developmental regulation of DME are currently unknown. However, the hormonal changes associated with puberty/adolescence provide a theoretical framework for understanding the...
متن کاملGreat Britain Hepatic Drug - Metabolizing Enzyme Activity in Rats Pretreated with ( - ) - Emetine or ( ± ) - 2 , 3 - Dehydroemetine
1. Pretreatment of female rats with (-)-emetine or (±)-2,3-dehydroemetine (at 18,umol/kg body wt. for 24h) prolongs the hexobarbital-induced sleeping-time of the treated animals. 2. This effect is not observed on pretreating animals with other compounds closely related to (-)-emetine, such as (-)-isoemetine or (+)-O-methylpsychotrine. 3. Liver microsomal drug-metabolizing enzyme activity in vit...
متن کاملHormonal regulation of cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase activity and epoxide-metabolizing enzyme activities in testis of hypophysectomized rats.
Since the male gonad is a target organ of both pituitary hormones and androgens, the present study was performed to determine whether testicular aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH), epoxide hydrase (EH), and glutathione transferase activities and cytochrome P-450 levels were regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone. Intact, sham-operated control...
متن کاملDecreased nuclear receptor activity and epigenetic modulation associates with down-regulation of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes in chronic kidney disease.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) require many medications. CYP2C and CYP3A drug-metabolizing enzymes play a critical role in determining the pharmacokinetics of the majority of prescribed medications. These enzymes are transcriptionally regulated by the nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR) and hepatic nuclear factor 4α (HNF-4α). Expression of CYP2C and CYP3A is decreased in CKD...
متن کاملRegulation of hepatic malic enzyme mRNAs during development.
Previous studies in vivo have demonstrated that in neonatal and adult rats hepatic malic enzyme expression is controlled at the pretranslational level by dietary and hormonal factors [ 1, 21. However, in order to demonstrate that particular effectors have a direct effect on gene expression in liver cells, techniques in vitro, such as the use of primary cultures of non-proliferating rat hepatocy...
