Biochemical changes after hepatic injury from toxic doses of acetaminophen or furosemide. 1976

S S Thorgeirsson, and H A Sasame, and J R Mitchell, and D J Jollow, and W Z Potter

The effects of hepatotoxic doses of acetaminophen and furosemide on the function and composition of hepatic endoplasmic reticulum were compared from 3 to 24 h after administration. Acetaminophen caused a significant decrease in microsomal protein concentration as early as 3 h after its administration, but furosemide did not affect the microsomal protein concentration until 24 h after the dose. Both acetaminophen and furosemide decreased the concentrations of cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5 in microsomes, and the activity of microsomal ethylmorphine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase. Glucose-6-phosphatase and UDP-glucuronyl transferase were not significantly affected by acetaminophen or furosemide administration, and neither diene conjugation nor hepatic triglycerides were increased. Incorporation of 3H-L-leucine into liver proteins was decreased by 50% after the administration of either acetaminophen or furosemide.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.

D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH).
