[Involvement of microRNA in the induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes].
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs of about 20 nucleotides in length and participate in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Accumulating evidence indicates that miRNA binds to 3'-UTR of its target mRNAs and thereby destabilizes the transcripts or suppresses the translation. It is expected that miRNAs could have diverse functions and therefore play a role in the gene...
متن کاملHepatoprotective effect of food preservatives (butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene) on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rat
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a hepatotoxic agent is widely used to study the toxic mechanisms in experimental animals. This study was carried out to establish the hepatoprotective measures of food preservative antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytolune (BHA, BHT) when mixed with food towards carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intoxication (230 mg/ kg b wt/rat/day) in rat. Bioche...
متن کاملEffects of tamoxifen administration on the expression of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in rat liver.
The nonsteroidal antiestrogen tamoxifen is widely used in breast cancer treatment and is currently under evaluation as a chemopreventive agent for individuals at high risk of contracting the disease. The effects of tamoxifen administration on the expression of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in F344 rat liver have been investigated. Tamoxifen administration for 7 days produced a dose-dependent ...
متن کاملShort-term effects of butylated hydroxytoluene on the Wistar rat liver, urinary bladder and thyroid gland.
Long-term feeding of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) to rats and mice has been linked to the enhancement of the incidence of liver tumors. It is shown in this paper that in the liver, urinary bladder and thyroid of the male Wistar rat, feeding the highest tolerated doses of BHT for 30 days does not lead to detectable increases in [3H]thymidine labeling. On the other hand, treatment of rats with ...
متن کاملPotent induction of rat liver microsomal, drug-metabolizing enzymes by 2,3,3',4,4',5-hexabromobiphenyl, a component of fireMaster.
The multistep synthesis and purification of 2,3,3',4,4',5-hexabromobiphenyl (HBBp) is described. Capillary gas chromatography revealed that HBBp comprises 0.05% of the industrial polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) mixture, fireMaster BP-6 (lot 7062). When administered to immature male Wistar rats, HBBp caused a dose-dependent increase in (a) the activity of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) hydroxylase (AHH) a...
