A comparative study of drug metabolizing enzymes in adrenal glands and livers of rats and chickens. 1990

Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, Blacksburg, VA 24061.

1. Drug metabolizing enzymes (cytochrome P450, glutathione-S-transferase, carboxylesterase) were compared in livers and adrenal glands from rats and chickens. 2. Quantities of cytochrome P450 in chicken liver and adrenal glands were less than in rat liver and adrenals. 3. Activities of carboxylesterase and of glutathione-S-epoxide transferase were similar in livers of rats and chickens. 4. In the chicken, activities of carboxylesterase and of glutathione-S-epoxide transferase were less in adrenal glands than in livers. 5. Carboxylesterase enzyme activities in adrenal glands of chickens were more sensitive to inhibition by antiesterase agents than were carboxylesterase enzyme activities in liver.

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.
