The effect of thioacetamide on rat liver plasma membrane enzymes and its potentiation by fasting. 1986

V Nikolaev, and M Kerimova, and E Naydenova, and S Dimov, and G Savov, and E Ivanov

Thioacetamide, given intraperitoneally (1.4 mmol/kg body mass) to male Wistar rats 24 h before sacrifice promoted a marked elevation of serum aminotransferases, loss of microsomal cytochrome P-450 content and a significant reduction (about 50%) of the liver plasma membrane enzymatic activities (5'-nucleotidase; K+, Na+- and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatases; and gamma-glutamyl transferase). Previous starvation for 48 h, immediately prior to thioacetamide administration, strongly potentiated the effects of thioacetamide on the serum, microsomal and liver plasma membrane parameters, while fasting itself did not affect them. The liver plasma membrane damage may be one of the reasons for the cell death in thioacetamide-intoxicated rat livers.

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.
