[Effect of starvation and acetone on the enzyme systems of biotransformation and toxicity of xenobiotics--CYP2E1 substrates in rats].

In experiments on 205 rats it was fixed, that starvation during 2-3 days, as well as introduction of acetone (250 and 1000 mg/kg) considerably increases CYP2E1-dependent aniline and p-nitrophenol hydroxylase activity in the liver, kidneys, lungs and CYP3A dependent erythromycin N-demethylase activity, at the same time, suppress in a liver activity enzymes, dependent CYP2D, CYP1A2 and CYP2C as well as of activity UDP-glucuronosyl-transferase, sulfotransferase and glutathione-S-transferase. The starvation causes accumulation of KoA and increases activity of N-acetyltransferase in the liver. Starvation induces the change of enzymes activity and correlates with the intensifying of the processes of lipolysis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and, especially, ketogenesis which are appreciably initiated by introduction of acetone. The starvation and introduction of acetone increases metabolism of acetanilide and brombenzene, and, increasing the formation of toxic metabolites, raise its hepato-, nephro- and pulmotoxicity. The starvation attenuates elimination of indometacin from blood plasma, but intensifies conjugation of sulfadimidine with acetic acid.

[Cytochrome P4502E1. Polymorphism, physiological function, regulation, and role in pathology].

The role of cytochrome P4502E1 in metabolism of substances, polymorphism, ways of the expression regulation, change of activity in pathological condition is considered in the review. Cytochrome P4502E1 catalyzed first two reactions of acetone transformation in the lactic acid, ethanol oxidation, metabolism of fatty acids and their hydroperoxides. Cytochrome P4502E1 dependent metabolism of xenobiotics in many cases results in formation of toxic intermediates and radicals of oxygen. Regulation of cytochrome P4502E1 expression includes transcriptional mechanisms and substrate stabilization of its molecule. The enzyme activity grows in alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, obesity, steatohepatitis, administration of acetone, alcohols and is connected with intensification of toxicity of paracetamol, halothane, benzene, tetrachlororomethane and others xenobiotics. Such inhibitors of cytochrome P4502E1 as dialyl sulphide, disulfiram have hepatoprotective action.
