Effect of selenium deficiency and vitamin E deficiency on glutathione metabolism in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Selenium deficiency and vitamin E deficiency both affect xenobiotic metabolism and toxicity. In addition, selenium deficiency causes changes in the activity of some glutathione-requiring enzymes. We have studied glutathione metabolism in isolated hepatocytes from selenium-deficient, vitamin E-deficient, and control rats. Cell viability, as measured by trypan blue exclusion, was comparable for a...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases Null Genotype in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...
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 کاملThe effect of dietary selenium and vitamin E on glutathione peroxidase and glutathione in the rat.
There is undoubtedly a close relationship between dietary vitamin E and selenium, but the nature of this is not completely understood. Rotruck et al. (1973) showed that the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.1 1.1.9) contains selenium (as an essential cofactor), establishing one of its metabolic roles. Later work established the dependence of tissue glutathione peroxidase activity on dietary s...
متن کاملModulation 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...
