Effect of metronidazole on the hepatic mixed function oxygenases (cytochromes b5 and P-450) in Swiss mice.

چکیده
Effect of metronidazole (MNZ) treatment (oral and ip) on activities of cytochrome b5 and P-450 was studied in male, virgin and pregnant female mice. Activities of both the cytochromes increased in virgin mice treated with 2 mg (ip or PO, per mouse) but not in male and pregnant females. 30 mg dose (per mouse) was toxic in pregnant mice but increased the cytochromes activities in males and virgin females. HPLC analysis of liver MNZ levels showed that virgin females had higher MNZ content than male and pregnant females when treated with ip injection of MNZ (250 mg/kg).

Depression of the hepatic cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase system by treatment of mice with the antineoplastic agent 5-azacytidine.
The effects of 5-azacytidine (5-AC) administration on the hepatic cytochrome P-450 systems of mice were studied. A single i.p. dose of 5-AC (25 mg/kg) to male Swiss-Webster mice caused about a 50% depression of microsomal cytochromes P-450 and b5 and of ethylmorphine N-demethylase and ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activities. Depression was greatest 24 h after treatment; by 48 to 72 h, cytochrome...

The present studies were conducted to characterize the relevance of a microsomal mixed function oxidase system to the polychlo rinated biphenyls (PCB)-induced vitamin A reduction and endogenous lipid peroxide formation in the liver of rats. And also, this study dealt with an influence of scavengers on the hepatic lipid peroxide formation stimulated by PCB. Rats were given a 0.01% PCB diet suppl...

Trichloroethylene (Tri) continues to be extensively used as an industrial solvent for fats and oils.1) As a xenobiotic metabolized by the microsomal mixed function oxidase system (MFOS) Tri is able to destroy, inhibit and induce microsomal enzymes. Costa et al.2) reported that incubation of hepatic microsomes with NADPH and trichloroethylene resulted in decreased levels of cytochrome P-450, but...
متن کاملPurification to homogeneity and enzymological characterization of a functional covalent complex composed of cytochromes P-450 isozyme 2 and b5 from rabbit liver.
A covalent complex between rabbit hepatic microsomal cytochromes P-450 isozyme 2 (LM2) and b5 was created and purified to greater than 95% homogeneity. The purified complex was largely comprised of the two cytochromes covalently attached at the interface of the functional electron transfer-effector complex as shown by the following evidence. The spin state of the LM2 within the complex was grea...

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (150 and 300 mg/kg b.w.) on urinary trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid excretion and the liver cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system (MFO) in rats treated with trichloroethylene (TRI) alone or with xylene (XYL) at a concentration of 4.5 mmol/m air. The study has shown that xylene equally decreased trichloro...
