Abstract:
:The metabolism of the synthetic substrate 7-ethoxyresorufin is a selective measure of the activity of cytochrome P-448 monooxygenase, the subset of cytochrome P-450-mediated enzymes preferentially induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds. 7-Ethoxycoumarin metabolism, on the other hand, reflects total (nonselective) cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activity. Either substrate yields a single, highly fluorescent product, amenable to direct, sensitive assay with the portable centrifugal analyzer. We used three assays with liver microsomes from C57/BL6 mice for the short-term bioassay of the dose-dependent effects of exposure to selected environmental toxins, including petroleums, polychlorinated biphenyls, and their oxidative degradation products.
