Phospholipid synthesis and exchange between rat liver microsomes and mitochondria in the presence of benzo(a)pyrene.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Benzo(a)pyrene injection increased the phospholipid content in membranes of rat liver mitochondria and microsomes. There was a large relative increase of phosphatidylcholine, especially in microsomes, as compared with normal liver. The quantity of phosphatidylethanolamine seemed not be affected and the other phospholipid classes decreased. In vivo [U-14C]glycerol incorporation into phospholipids was greater after benzo(a)pyrene injection, especially into phosphatidylcholine. Liver microsomes derived from rats injected with [U-14C]glycerol or from liver slices incubated with the same precursor were incubated with unlabeled mitochondria in the presence of 105,000 g supernatant fraction; labeled microsomal phospholipids exchanged to a greater extent in the presence of benzo(a)pyrene, suggesting either a stimulation of activity of the exchange proteins, or a relative membrane disorganization facilitating the phospholipid transfer.

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...

1. The substrate specificity of membrane-bound and purified epoxide hydrase from rat liver microsomes has been studied. Both enzyme preparations catalyzed the hydration of a variety of alkene oxidase as well as arene oxides of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 2. Unlike the membrane-bound enzyme, the rate of hydration for most of the substrates catalyzed by the purified epoxide hydrase ...
