Turnover of enzymes of peroxisomal beta-oxidation in rat liver. 1980

S Miyazawa, and S Furuta, and T Osumi, and T Hashimoto

Male Wistar rats were given a diet containing 2% (w/w) di-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP), a peroxisomal proliferator, for 4 weeks. The activities of enzymes of peroxisomal beta-oxidation and of catalase were markedly increased by the DEHP administration. The time required to reach halfway to the maximal induction for enzymes of peroxisomal beta-oxidation was 5--7 days, whereas that for catalase was 3 days. A separate DEHP group was placed on the control diet after 14 days of feeding with the DEHP diet. On the withdrawal of DEHP, activities of enzymes of the beta-oxidation system and of catalase decreased to the control levels with a half-life of 2--3 days. Responses of some mitochondrial enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation are also described.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008830 Microbodies Electron-dense cytoplasmic particles bounded by a single membrane, such as PEROXISOMES; GLYOXYSOMES; and glycosomes. Glycosomes,Glycosome,Microbody
D009940 Organoids An organization of cells into an organ-like structure. Organoids can be generated in culture, e.g., self-organized three-dimensional tissue structures derived from STEM CELLS (see MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS). They are also found in certain NEOPLASMS. Organoid
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D001835 Body Weight The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms. Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body
D002374 Catalase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the conversion of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to water and oxygen. It is present in many animal cells. A deficiency of this enzyme results in ACATALASIA. Catalase A,Catalase T,Manganese Catalase,Mn Catalase
D004051 Diethylhexyl Phthalate An ester of phthalic acid. It appears as a light-colored, odorless liquid and is used as a plasticizer for many resins and elastomers.

D004790 Enzyme Induction An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis. Induction, Enzyme
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.
