Isolation of Endogenous Activator of Glucuronide For-mation in Liver
نویسندگان
چکیده
A purified compound of the activator of glucuronide formation was isolated from a boiled extract of rat liver by charcoal adsorption, ethanol fractionation of barium salts, and finally paper and Dowex-l column chromatographies. The analytical data and the chemical properties of the compound sugggested that the endogenous activator of glucuronide formation in rat liver might be uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine. ∗Copyright c ©OKAYAMA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL Acta Med.

In the classical metabolic oxidation scheme, hydrophobic endogenous or xenobiotic compounds undergo phase I oxidation, generally catalyzed in the liver by cytochromes P450, followed by phase II conjugation reactions, in a way that allows much more polar metabolites to be expelled from the cell through active transport mechanisms. Cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation of steroid sulfate has been de...

The present study aimed to investigate the role of adenylyl cyclase activator in preventing diabetic nephropathy via antioxidant activity in rats. Biochemical parameters were performed to confirm Streptozotocin induced nephropathy in rats. Male Wistar rats were used in the present study to reduce the effect of estrogen. Rats were subjected to high fat diet (HFD) for two weeks followed by low do...
متن کاملIsolation and Phenotyping of Normal Mouse Liver Dendritic Cells by an Improved Method
Introduction Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived cells, which migrate to lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs via blood. Liver DCs are believed to play an important role in the regulation of hepatic allograft acceptance. However, because of inherent difficulties in isolating adequate numbers of DCs from liver, limited information is available on the phenotype and functions of liver DCs. ...
متن کاملInhibition of morphine glucuronidation in the liver microsomes of rats and humans by monoterpenoid alcohols.
Morphine is an important drug used to alleviate moderate to severe pain. This opiate is mainly metabolized by glucuronidation to a non-analgesic metabolite, morphine-3-glucuronide (M-3-G) and an active metabolite morphine-6-glucuronide (M-6-G). To understand the modulation of morphine glucuronidation activity by environmental factors, the effect of endogenous and food-derived compounds on morph...

The present study investigates the antioxidant potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of the aerial parts Eclipta alba L. Hassk (EAEA) which was widely used as hepatoprotective plant. EAEA was orally administered at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg for 7 days in male Charles Foster rats. The extent of hepatoprotective potential of E . alba was studied by assessing the biochemical para...
