Sex difference in responsiveness to Aztreonam of monooxygenase system in liver microsomes from rats. 1987

T Horie, and M Kitada, and Y Tanabe, and Y Kanakubo

Effect of successive administration of Aztreonam on microsomal monooxygenase system was investigated in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. The activities of benzphetamine N-demethylase, aminopyrine N-demethylase, p-nitroanisole O-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase in liver microsomes from male rats were decreased dose-dependently by Aztreonam. On the contrary, the activities in liver microsomes from female rats were slightly increased rather than decreased by the administration of Aztreonam. In addition, Aztreonam was found to decrease the specific content of microsomal cytochrome P-450 in male rats but not in female rats. The decreases in the activities observed in male rats were accompanied by a parallel decrease in the specific content of cytochrome P-450. Furthermore, the results of quantitation of P-450 (M-1), one of the male specific forms of cytochrome P-450, indicated that the administration of Aztreonam resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the content of P-450 (M-1) in liver microsomes from male rats.

D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase

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.
