Effect of methyltestosterone administration on microsomal drug metabolism in aging rats. 1984

L E Rikans, and B A Notley

The effects of methyltestosterone administration (100 mg/kg for four days) on the hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing system from old male rats was investigated. Age-related decreases in cytochrome P-450 content, cytochrome c reductase activity and benzphetamine N-demethylase activity were unaffected by methyltestosterone treatment. Administration of the androgen induced nitroanisole O-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities, resulting in a restoration of the latter to levels found in young-adult animals.

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.
