Abstract:
:The cytochrome P-450 enzymes are responsible for the oxidation of xenobiotic chemicals including drugs, pesticides, and carcinogens. These enzymes include cytochrome P450, cytochrome b(5), arylhydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH), NADPH-cytochrome C reductase and dimethylnitrosamine N-demethylase I (DMN-dI). Changes in the activities of the above mentioned enzymes were studied in the liver microsomes of rats treated with antioxidants (ascorbic acid (AA), DL-a-tocopherol (vitamin E, VE), garlic) as single- and repeated doses prior to the administration of a single dose of CCl(4). Pretreatment of rats with single doses of AA, VE, or garlic prior to the administration of CCl(4) was found to decrease the hepatic content of cytochrome P450, and the activities of DMN-dI and AHH. On the other hand, these treatments induced the hepatic content of cytochrome b(5) and the activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. Pretreatment of rats with repeated doses of AA, VE, or garlic for 12 consecutive days prior to the administration of CCl(4) as single dose was potentially decreased the activities of cytochrome P450, DMN-dI and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. Also, the activity of AHH decreased after treatments of rats with repeated doses of garlic prior to the administration of CCl(4). It was noted that repeated doses of antioxidants are more effective than single dose in decreasing the activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes. It is concluded that repeated doses of antioxidants or garlic could reduce the toxic effects exerted by CCl(4) upon the liver, and probably other organs, through inhibition of cytochrome P450 system that activates CCl(4) into its active metabolite, trichloromethyl radical. Moreover, inhibition of cytochrome P450 system could also reduce the toxic and carcinogenic effects of chemical carcinogens such as benzo(a)pyrene and dimethylnitrosamine. The mechanisms of antioxidant protection were discussed in the text.
