چکیده

The metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene by human liver microsomes and human lymphocytes has been analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Human liver forms seven known metabolites and at least five additional unidentified metabolites that migrate as distinct peaks. Lymphocytes incubated with benzo(a)pyrene for 30 min do not form dihydrodiols. Lymphocytes incubated for 24 hr with benzo(a)pyrene form all of the metabolites produced by liver including dihydrodiols as well as additional metabolites. The ratios of phenols formed by liver and lymphocytes are different, and preparations from humans form a different profile of metabolites than that formed by rat liver.

MICROSOME-MEDIATED BENZO[A]PYRENE-DNA BINDING AND INHIBITION BY CYTOSOLIC FRACTIONS FROM LIVER AND SKIN OF ADULT AND WEANLING RATS

Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP. Subcellular fractions were prepared from skin and liver by ultracentrifugation and were used as the source of BaP metabolizing enzy...

Effect of chrysotile asbestos and silica on the microsomal metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene.

The effects of chrysotile, water-leached chrysotile, and silica on microsomal metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene in vitro were studied. Examination of benzo(a)pyrene metabolites generated by 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated rat liver microsomes, in the presence of chrysotile fibers, revealed a reduction in the overall metabolism of the hydrocarbon. Thus, chrysotile appeared to modify the activities of...

Short time interval effects of butylated hydroxyanisole on the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene.

Within 4 hr after administration of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) by p.o. intubation, marked changes in the microsomab metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) occur. Liver microsomes isolated from female A/HeJ mice under these conditions show a depression of BP metabolism by more than 16%. The effects on individual metabolites as determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography differ. Relative inc...

Activation and inhibition of benzo(a)pyrene and aflatoxin B1 metabolism in human liver microsomes by naturally occurring flavonoids.

The effects of several naturally occurring and synthetic flavonoids on the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene and aflatoxin B1 were evaluated. Addition of apigenin, chrysin, fisetin, flavonone, galangin, hesperitin, kaempferol, morin, myricetin, haringenin, or quercetin to human liver microsomes inhibited the hydroxylation of benzo(a)pyrene. In contrast to these results, the addition of flavone, nobi...
