چکیده
Excess nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is metabolized through two enzymatic systems and eventually excreted from the body. The first system starts with the methylation of nicotinamide by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, which can subsequently be oxidized by aldehyde oxidase. The second enzymatic system oxidizes nicotinamide to nicotinamide N-oxide. It is located in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes but the precise enzyme is unknown. We have used human liver microsomes in combination with selective cytochrome P450 inhibitors, specific substrates, and antibodies to identify CYP2E1 as the main activity producing nicotinamideN-oxide. Our results suggest the potential use of nicotinamide N-oxide as a biomarker of CYP2E1 activity from urine or blood samples.

متن کاملChanges in breast radiotherapy: prone positioning and hypofractionation.
Breast cancer management has drastically changed since the 1990s. Many patients with breast cancer now can opt to conserve their breast through a lumpectomy and radiation (breast conservation therapy), rather than a full mastectomy. Advances in the techniques of delivery and length of breast radiotherapy have been rapidly evolving. This article attempts to summarize some of those changes for nu...

متن کاملCO-binding c-type cytochromes and a high-potential cytochrome c in Nitrosomonas europaea.
The purification of two soluble CO-binding cytochromes c from Nitrosomonas europaea is described. Cytochrome cCO-550 ran on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with an apparent Mr of 32 000, whereas for cytochrome cCO-552 the apparent Mr was 16 000. Redox potentials (Em, 7) were determined as +140 and -50mV respectively. Cytochrome cCO-550 was co-purified with a cytochrom...
متن کاملThiosulphate Oxidation in Thiobacillus
bacterium Thiobacillus X. A fifth fraction (acidic fraction) contained two additional cytochrome components with x bands at 550 and 557 msi respectively in the reduced state. 2. All the cytochromes appear to be ofthe c type, are labile to heat and acid and do not combine with carbon monoxide. They are auto-oxidizable to varying degrees. 3. Cytochromes 550 (1) and 557 (1) are basic, and are adso...
