Maternal drug abuse and human term placental xenobiotic and steroid metabolizing enzymes in vitro.
We evaluated the impact of maternal drug abuse at term on human placental cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated (Phase I) xenobiotic and steroid-metabolizing activities [aromatase, 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD), pyrene 1-hydroxylase (P1OH), and testosterone hydroxylase], and androstenedione-forming isomerase, NADPH quinone oxidoreductase (Phase II), UDP-gl...
متن کاملXenobiotic-metabolizing Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Human Lung
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system in human lung is an essential component in the pulmonary carcinogenicity of several inhaled xenobiotic compounds. The aim of this study was to elucidate the expression and regulation of xenobiotic-metabolizing CYP enzymes in human lung. To evaluate which of the two is a better surrogate cell model for lung tissue, the expression patterns of CYP enzymes in...
متن کاملThe effects of fenvalerate on hepatic and cerebral xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in selenium and/or iodine deficient rats
Objective(s): Particularly in developing countries, selenium and/or iodine deficiencies are encountered and use of pesticides in agriculture are not well-controlled. Fenvalerate is a pyrethroid insectide used in agriculture and has applications against a wide range of pests. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of fenvalerate on hepatic and cerebral xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme act...
متن کاملHeterologous expression of human drug-metabolizing enzymes.
This article is a report on a symposium held at the March 1997 meeting of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics in San Diego. Current developments in the heterologous expression of cytochrome P450, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, glutathione transferase, and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes are described. Systems include bacteria, insect cells, and transient an...
متن کاملPolymorphisms of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and susceptibility to cancer.
The variation in individual responses to exogenous agents is exceptionally wide. It is because of this large diversity of responsiveness that risk factors to environmentally induced diseases have been difficult to pinpoint, particularly at low exposure levels. Opportunities now exist for studies of host factors in cancer or other diseases in which an environmental component can be presumed. Man...
