Inability of vitamin A deficiency to alter benzo(a)pyrene metabolism in Syrian hamsters. 1978

W A Bornstein, and M P Lamden, and A H Chuang, and R L Gross, and P M Newberne, and E Bresnick

Syrian golden hamsters were placed on a control or vitamin A-deficient diet. When their serum vitamin A content was significantly reduced, i.e., to less than 10% of controls, the hamsters were killed and lung aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity and metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene were determined. The benzo(a)pyrene metabolite profile was similar with control and A-deficient systems, and only few quantitative differences were noted. Addition of beta-retinyl acetate to the in vitro incubations did not substantially affect benzo(a)pyrene metabolism.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

D001189 Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases A large group of cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) monooxygenases that complex with NAD(P)H-FLAVIN OXIDOREDUCTASE in numerous mixed-function oxidations of aromatic compounds. They catalyze hydroxylation of a broad spectrum of substrates and are important in the metabolism of steroids, drugs, and toxins such as PHENOBARBITAL, carcinogens, and insecticides.
