Aminopyrine breath test and zonal hepatic damage in rats. 1985

M M Farag, and L Volicer

Acute hepatic damage in centrilobular or periportal areas was induced in two groups of rats by intraperitoneal injections of bromobenzene or allyl alcohol, respectively. The effect of this zonal damage on the demethylation of 14C-aminopyrine was evaluated by measuring the elimination of 14CO2 in breath following intravenous administration of a tracer dose of the labeled compound. In rats with centrilobular hepatic damage 14CO2 elimination in breath was significantly decreased compared to controls. In rats with periportal hepatic damage, elimination of 14CO2 in breath was unchanged. These results suggest functional heterogeneity of hepatocytes in vivo with respect to drug-metabolizing capacity.

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.
