trans-Stilbene oxide: an inducer of rat hepatic microsomal and nuclear epoxide hydrase and mixed-function oxidase activities. 1978

H Mukhtar, and T H Elmamlouk, and J R Bend

The administration of trans-stilbene oxide to rats resulted in increased hepatic microsomal and nuclear epoxide hydrase (with styrene oxide (SO), benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide (4,5-BP) as substrates) and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activities. Hepatic microsomal aminopyrine N-demethylase, benzphetamine N-demethylase, and ethylmorphine N-demethylase activities were also increased. These increases in microsomal enzyme activity were dose- and time-dependent (about 100% at 200 mg/kg body weight, administered for 2 consecutive days). However, only marginal increases in hepatic microsomal NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity and cytochrome P-450 content were observed. No apparent proliferation of hepatic endoplasmic reticulum occurred in trans-stilbene oxide pretreated rats. The administration of trans-stilbene oxide has no effect on hepatic glutathione S-transferase activities (with SO or 4,5-BPO as substrates). None of the parameters were affected in pulmonary microsomes from treated rats. The in vitro addition of trans-stilbene oxide (10(-6)--10(-2) M) did not affect hepatic epoxide hydrase or glutathione S-transferase activities.

D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
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

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
