1. The effect of acute cadmium (Cd) treatment on pulmonary and renal microsomal aniline 4-hydroxylase and ethylmorphine N-demethylase enzyme activities of adult male guinea-pigs were assessed 72 hr following a single dose of Cd ion (2 mg Cd2+/kg i.p.). Tissue and microsomal Cd levels were also determined. 2. There were no significant differences between either lung or kidney tissue weights, microsomal protein contents or enzyme activities of Cd treated and control animals. 3. The tissues and microsomes of Cd-treated animals were found to have significantly higher levels of Cd than those of control animals. In Cd treated animals, tissue and microsomal Cd levels of kidney were found to be higher than that of lung. 4. In vitro addition of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) to incubation mixtures produced concentration related inhibitions of microsomal drug metabolizing enzymes in each tissue. However, in vitro effect of CdCl2 was found to be stronger on drug metabolizing enzymes of kidney than those of lung. In addition, while the strength of Cd effect was more pronounced on the activity of ethylmorphine N-demethylase than that of aniline 4-hydroxylase in the lung, the opposite was observed in the kidney.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
