1. Rats fed on purified synthetic diets have a markedly lower cytochrome P-450 concentration and hydroxylating enzyme activity in liver microsomal fraction than rats fed on stock pellets. 2. When both groups are treated with phenobarbitone the difference is even greater, the purified diet allowing only 50% of the cytochrome P-450 concentrations of controls. 3. Addition of herring oil, linoleic acid or 0.1% oxidized sitosterol to the diets allows induction of cytochrome P-450 to take place. 4. Addition of coconut oil to the diet does not permit induction of cytochrome P-450. 5. The interactions between dietary protein and the lipid substances are explored. 6. The mechanism of induction of microsomal hydroxylation enzymes by drugs is discussed in the light of these requirements.

1. The effect of a single dose of 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide on the cytochrome P-450 concentration in rat liver microsomal fraction was studied. The drug caused a rapid loss of cytochrome P-450 followed by a gradual increase to above the normal concentration. 2. The loss of cytochrome P-450 was accompanied by a loss of microsomal haem and by a brown–green discoloration of the microsomal fraction suggesting that a change in the chemical constitution of the lost haem had taken place. Direct evidence for this was obtained by prelabelling the liver haems with radioactive 5-aminolaevulate: the drug caused a loss of radioactivity from the haem with an increase of radioactivity in a fraction containing certain un-identified green pigments. 3. Evidence was obtained by a dual-isotopic procedure that rapidly turning-over haem(s) may be preferentially affected. 4. The loss of cytochrome P-450 as well as the loss of microsomal haem and the discoloration of the microsomal fraction were more intense in animals pretreated with phenobarbitone and were much less evident when compound SKF 525-A (2-diethylaminoethyl 3,3-diphenylpropylacetate) was given before 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide, suggesting that the activity of the drug-metabolizing enzymes may be involved in these effects. 5. The relevance of the destruction of liver haem to the increased activity of 5-aminolaevulate synthetase caused by 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide is discussed.

1. Reactions of N-demethylation, p-hydroxylation and N-oxidation of one substrate, i.e. dimethylaniline, have been used to show that the activating effect of Mg2+ takes place only in the first two reactions. 2. An increase in Vmax. of N-demethylation of dimethylaniline is accompanied by an increase in Km. In the p-hydroxylation of dimethylaniline Vmax. increases whereas Km does not change. A comparison of the changes in the Km values of these reactions with the change in Ks shows that in both cases Km does not characterize the affinity of cytochrome P-450 for dimethylaniline. 3. The rate-limiting site of N-demethylation and p-hydroxylation of dimethylaniline, as well as the total rate of NADPH oxidation in the presence of dimethylaniline, is between cytochromes b5 and P-450. Addition of Mg2+ to the incubation medium changes the hydrophobic environment of phosphatidylcholine in the membrane, the process being accompanied by a sharp increase in the fluorescence quantum yield of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonate.

Evidence is established for the existence of alternative metabolic routes of N-oxidation of NN-dimethylaniline in rabbit liver microsomal fraction. One pathway involves the participation of two types of cytochrome P-450 with different sensitivities towards heat. Both types may represent distinct haemoprotein species or two physical forms of a single pigment. The other pathway is represented by the mixed-function amine oxidase. The enzyme lacks NADPH dehydrogenase activity and is insensitive to treatment with 2-bromo-4'-nitroacetophenone and steapsin: it catalyses N-oxidation of imipramine, trimethylamine and NN-dimethylaniline in molar proportions considerably different from those of the cytochrome P-450-supported reactions. Cytochrome P-450 is estimated to account for the formation of at least 50-60% of the total NN-dimethylaniline N-oxide formed in the intact rabbit liver microsomal fraction, the remainder arising from the action of the mixed-function amine oxidase.

The effect of ethanol on N-demethylation of aminopyrine in rat liver slices and in the microsomal fraction and on microsomal hydroxylation of pentobarbital and aniline was studied. With liver slices N-demethylation of aminopyrine was stimulated by 35–40% at low ethanol concentrations (2mm), whereas no stimulation occurred at high concentrations (100mm). With the liver microsomal fraction, an inhibitory effect was observed only at high ethanol concentrations (100mm). This was also observed with the other drugs studied. In agreement with these results, only at a high concentration did ethanol interfere with the binding of drug substrates to cytochrome P-450. Further, as previously reported, ethanol produced a reverse type I spectral change when added to the liver microsomal fraction. Evidence that this spectral change is due to removal of substrate, endogenously bound to cytochrome P-450, is reported. A dual effect of ethanol is assumed to explain the present findings; in liver slices, at a low ethanol concentration, the enhanced rate of drug oxidation is the result of an increased NADH concentration, whereas the inhibitory effect observed with the microsomal fraction at high ethanol concentration is due to the interference by ethanol with the binding of drug substrates to cytochrome P-450.

AbstractRecent evidence has raised the possibility of the existence of a sixth taste modality – that is, taste for fat – which is mediated by lingual CD36 and plays a role in obesity. Consequently, the genetic polymorphism of CD36 has been shown to be associated with altered oro-sensory detection of dietary lipids. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between oro-sensory perception of linoleic acid (LA), two CD36 polymorphisms (rs1527483 and rs3212018), obesity parameters and craving habits for dietary lipids in young Czech adults. We also sequenced 5 and 6 exons of CD36 to trace out any new mutation that might be responsible for the difference in taste perception. We observed that craving for dietary lipids was correlated with anthropometric parameters (P<0·05) and LA detection threshold (P=0·033). The participants with the CC genotype of the rs1527483 polymorphism had lower BMI (P=0·011), waist circumference (P=0·005), waist:height ratio (P=0·010) and higher sensitivity for LA (P=0·037) than the participants with the CT and TT genotypes. Interestingly, we did not observe any association between the rs3212018 polymorphism and the studied parameters. Moreover, we did not observe any mutation in exons 5 and 6 of the CD36 gene in these subjects. Finally, we can state that rs1527483, but not rs3212018, is associated with high body weight in young Czech subjects.

Nadph Cytochrome C Reductase

A potent inhibitor of microsomal mixed-function oxidation reactions in insects had previously been isolated and partially purified from the gut contents of Prodenia eridania and shown to be associated with proteinase activity. Incubation of rat liver microsomal fraction with low concentrations of this inhibitor led to solubilization of NADPH–cytochrome c reductase, which was paralleled by the inactivation of reduction of cytochrome P-450 by NADPH and by the inhibition of NADPH-linked benzo[3,4]pyrene hydroxylation and aminopyrine demethylation. There was little or no effect on cytochromes b5 and P-450, nor was the capacity of the latter catalyst to combine with exogenous substrates decreased. Contrary to the findings with NADPH, preincubation of microsomal fraction with the inhibitor did not cause a significant decrease in the rate of cytochrome P-450 reduction by NADH, supporting the assumption that different catalysts are involved in the electron transfer from NADH and NADPH to cytochrome P-450. The findings indicate the importance of taking the possible presence of endogenous inhibitors into consideration when evaluating low or absent mixed-function oxidation activities found in insect systems in vitro.

The interaction of NADPH—cytochrome c reductase with oxygen, artificial acceptors and cytochrome P-450 was studied. The generation of superoxide anion radicals (O2-.) from the oxidation of adrenaline to adrenochrome catalysed by NADPH—cytochrome c reductase proceeds independently of the interaction of the enzyme with the artificial anaerobic acceptors cytochrome c or 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol. Propyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate inhibited competitively the adrenaline oxidation by isolated NADPH—cytochrome c reductase (Ki 3.2—4.7 micrometer) and inhibited non-competitively the cytochrome c reduction (Ki 92—109 micrometer). In contrast with the process of electron transfer to cytochrome c, the rate of reduction of cytochrome P-450 and the rate of oxidation of adrenaline in liver microsomal fraction are correlated. Hexobarbital increases the Vmax. of adrenaline oxidation without affecting the Km value, whereas metyrapone, a metabolic inhibitor decreases Vmax. without affecting the Km. From the results obtained, some conclusions about NADPH—cytochrome c reductase function were made.

The arylcyclopropanes (cyclopropylarenes) cyclopropylbenzene and diphenylcyclopropane are oxidized by rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, both by the microsomal fraction and by the purified cytochrome in a reconstituted system. The products formed, principally benzoic acid, are due to an unusual triple oxidation of the substrate, which probably remains attached to the active site during the several steps of the oxidation. Both substrates were found to be inhibitors of the cytochrome P-450-dependent O-de-ethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin. Model oxidation studies with cumene hydroperoxide as oxidizing agent and rabbit liver microsomal fraction as source of enzyme gave similar products to the microsomal and reconstituted systems. The significance of these results in the mechanism of oxidation catalysed by cytochrome P-450 is discussed.

Eur J Endocrinol 1994;130:608–11. ISSN 0804–4643 The renal mitochondrial calcidiol-24-hydroxylase activity and the corresponding cytochrome P-450 mRNA level were measured in rats subjected to short-term starvation alone or in combination with calcitriol treatment. Short-term starvation of 24 and 48 h increased the mRNA level by five- and six-fold, respectively. The 24-hydroxylase activity increased by five- and threefold, respectively. Treatment with calcitriol markedly increased the enzyme activity about 20-fold and the mRNA level about six-fold. In rats subjected to calcitriol treatment combined with 24 h of starvation, a significant further increase in enzyme activity was observed. The mRNA levels increased but the difference was not significant statistically. The results indicate that the mechanism by which starvation stimulates the enzymes is different, at least in part, from that behind the stimulatory effect of calcitriol.
