Estrogen Metabolism and Detoxification
It is now well known that one of the most prominent causes of breast cancer, as well as many other hormone related health problems in both men and women, is excessive estrogen exposure from both endogenous and exogenous sources. Improving estrogen metabolism can be of benefit in women with various conditions and family histories, including a family history of breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer,...
متن کاملFungal metabolism and detoxification of the nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon 1-nitropyrene.
Nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, many of which are potent mutagens in bacterial and mammalian cells and carcinogenic to rodents. In this study, we investigated the fungal metabolism of 1-nitropyrene and determined the mutagenic activity of the metabolites toward Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA98NR, and TA100. Cunninghamella elegans metabolized 1-nit...
متن کاملMetabolism of monoepoxides of methyl linoleate: bioactivation and detoxification.
Leukotoxin (ltx) and isoleukotoxin (iltx) methyl esters, are metabolites of methyl linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid. They have been associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The observed toxicity of ltx and iltx is, in fact, due to the metabolism of the epoxides to their corresponding diols by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Herein, we demonstrate that ltx/iltx are toxic in a ...
متن کاملMetabolism in fungal pathogenesis.
Fungal pathogens must assimilate local nutrients to establish an infection in their mammalian host. We focus on carbon, nitrogen, and micronutrient assimilation mechanisms, discussing how these influence host-fungus interactions during infection. We highlight several emerging trends based on the available data. First, the perturbation of carbon, nitrogen, or micronutrient assimilation attenuate...
متن کاملFungal Metabolism of n-Alkylbenzenes.
Isolates of Paecilomyces, Verticillium, Beauveria, and Penicillium species were tested for ability to metabolize a variety of n-alkylbenzenes. Minimum side chain lengths were required for metabolism of these substrates. These were C(4) for the Paecilomyces sp., C(8) for the Verticillium sp., and C(9) for the other two isolates. Growth on dodecylbenzene yielded benzoic and phenylacetic acids as ...
