Increased glutathione (GSH) content in livers of control and carbon tetrachloride poisoned rats treated with the anticalmodulin drug trifluoperazine (TFP). 1986

E C de Ferreyra, and A S Bernacchi, and J A Castro

TFP administration to rats (50 mg/kg, ip) 6 hr after olive oil or CCl4 (1 mg/kg, ip as a 20% olive oil solution) significantly increases the GSH content in liver at 24 hr. The role of GSH increases in the late preventive effects against CCl4 hepatotoxicity is discussed. A link between the calcium/calmodulin (CaM) system and the GSH status in liver is postulated.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.
