Association between progesterone binding and cytochrome P-450 content of hepatic microsomes in the rat treated with cobalt-haem. 1985

G Feuer, and M Waheed Roomi, and L Stuhne-Sekalec, and R G Cameron

The effect of cobalt protoporphyrin IX (Co-haem) given to male rats in single subcutaneous doses (25-100 mumol/kg body wt.) was studied. Co-haem decreased cytochrome P-450 content and aminopyrine N-demethylase activity, but increased progesterone content and 3H-progesterone binding in a dose-related manner. The effect of a single dose of 50 mumol/kg body wt. was reversible; cytochrome P-450 and progesterone content, and progesterone binding, returned to the normal level 24-40 d after injection but aminopyrine N-demethylase activity was only partially restored. The converse actions of Co-haem on microsomal progesterone and cytochrome P-450 content showed high correlation.

D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Porphyrin
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D011524 Protoporphyrins Porphyrins with four methyl, two vinyl, and two propionic acid side chains attached to the pyrrole rings. Protoporphyrin IX occurs in hemoglobin, myoglobin, and most of the cytochromes.

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.
