The effect of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) administration on the hepatic components of the monooxygenase system and lipid peroxidation in microsomal and nuclear fractions was investigated in male Swiss mice. Addition of BHA to the diet for 8 days increased significantly the content of cytochrome P-450 (by 50%) and two times the specific activities of NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductases in liver microsomes and lowered the concentration of cytochrome P-450 in liver nuclei. Lipid peroxidation of liver microsomes obtained from BHA fed mice was higher (by 70%) as compared with the control. The inhibition of peroxidation was shown when BHA was added to the incubation mixture containing control microsomal fraction or liver homogenate. When benzo(a)pyrene (BP) was incubated with liver microsomes from BHA fed mice the binding of BP metabolites to microsomal macromolecules increased 5.5-fold compared with control. However, there was no such effect in case of liver nuclei. In view of these results it has been postulated that BHA can play not only preventive role in chemical carcinogenesis.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
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.
