Hepatic Aldehyde Oxidase
Previous reports on rabbit liver aldehyde oxidase described the purification and some properties of the enzyme (1) and the differential inhibition of electron transfer to various acceptors (2). The latter study furnished evidence for the participation of several electron carriers in the internal electron transport sequence of the enzyme. The present communication summarizes the results of studi...
متن کاملP-91: Vitamin E and Selenium Supplementation Affects Aldehyde Oxidase, Xanthine Dehydrogenase/Oxidase Activities In Diabetic Rat Ovaries
Background Any factor like diabetes that changes the oxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of oxidants could possibly disrupt the physiologic function of ovaries. So, we have investigated the effect of vitamin E and Se supplements on antioxidant defense in ovaries of diabetic rats with focus on Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) and Aldehyde oxidase (AO) activities. MaterialsAndMethods This...
متن کاملPolygenic control of aldehyde oxidase in Drosophila.
HEN extracts of wild-type Drosophila are electrophoresed on agar gels and the gels stained with a tetrazolium solution containing benzaldehyde, a formazan band is formed at a location not identical to the xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) band ( COURTRIGHT 1966a). This was a surprising observation since benzaldehyde has been reported to serve as a substrate for XDH (GLASSMAN and MITCHELL 1959a). Sin...
متن کاملAldehyde oxidase activity in fresh human skin.
Human aldehyde oxidase (AO) is a molybdoflavoenzyme that commonly oxidizes azaheterocycles in therapeutic drugs. Although high metabolic clearance by AO resulted in several drug failures, existing in vitro-in vivo correlations are often poor and the extrahepatic role of AO practically unknown. This study investigated enzymatic activity of AO in fresh human skin, the largest organ of the body, f...
متن کاملRole of Aldehyde Oxidase and Xanthine Oxidase in the Metabolism of Purine-Related Drugs
Purines are natural compounds that are found in all of the body's cells. They are the most widely distributed kind of N-heterocyclic substances in nature. Purines provide part of the chemical structure of some important co-enzymes and the genes of plants and animals. These compounds also participate in membrane signal transduction, translation and protein synthesis and in the form of purine nuc...
