Male Wistar rats were treated for 3 weeks with alpha-naphthyl isothiocyanate (ANIT, 5.4 mmol per kg food). Chronic necrotic cholangitis without pronounced transaminasemia and hyperbilirubinemia developed. The activity of 5'-nucleotidase in liver plasma membrane preparations was strongly depressed (3.5 times) while the activities of K+-, Na+- and Mg++-ATPases were not affected. The liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5 contents decreased. Elevation of reduced glutathione liver content after challenge with ANIT was recorded. The observed biochemical changes may be important for the pathogenesis of ANIT-induced chronic cholangitis.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D003580 Cytochromes Hemeproteins whose characteristic mode of action involves transfer of reducing equivalents which are associated with a reversible change in oxidation state of the prosthetic group. Formally, this redox change involves a single-electron, reversible equilibrium between the Fe(II) and Fe(III) states of the central iron atom (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p539). The various cytochrome subclasses are organized by the type of HEME and by the wavelength range of their reduced alpha-absorption bands. Cytochrome
D005978 Glutathione A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
