Modulation of human glutathione s-transferases by polyphenon e intervention.
PURPOSE Green tea consumption has been associated with decreased risk of certain types of cancers in humans. Induction of detoxification enzymes has been suggested as one of the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the cancer-preventive effect of green tea. We conducted this clinical study to determine the effect of repeated green tea polyphenol administration on a major group of detoxificati...
متن کاملHuman intestinal glutathione S - transferases
Cytosolic glutathione S-transferases were purified from the epithelial cells of human small and large intestine. These preparations were characterized with regard to specific activities, subunit and isoenzyme composition. Isoenzyme composition and specific activity showed little variation from proximal to distal small intestine. Specific activities of hepatic and intestinal enzymes from the sam...
متن کاملClass-Pi of Glutathione S-Transferases
Class-Pi of glutathione s-transferases (GST-Pi) is the specific form of GSTs that are known to participate particularly in the mechanisms of resistance to drugs and carcinogens. This class of the enzyme is referred to as class-P or class-Pi or class π. The accepted terminology in this review article is class-Pi. In this article following a brief description of identified molecular forms of GSTs...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases of human brain
Human brain contains one cationic (pI8.3) and two anionic (pI5.5 and 4.6) forms of glutathione S-transferase. The cationic form (pI 8.3) and the less-anionic form (p1 5.5) do not correspond to any of the glutathione S-transferases previously characterized in human tissues. Both of these forms are dimers of 26 500-Mr subunits; however, immunological and catalytic properties indicate that these t...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases in human liver cancer.
An immunohistochemical study of glutathione S-transferase (GST) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma is described. Unlike most animal models of hepatic malignancy pi class GST was not consistently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. This tumour type either predominantly expressed alpha class GST or failed to express GST. By contrast, cholangiocarcinoma always exp...
