  • Title: Chemically induced porphyria: increased microsomal heme turnover after treatment with allylisopropylacetamide.
    Author: Meyer UA, Marver HS.
    Journal: Science; 1971 Jan 08; 171(3966):64-6. PubMed ID: 5538700.
    Abstract:
    Excessive induction of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase in rats after treatment with porphyria-inducing chemicals, such as allylisopropylacetamide, is accompanied by a decrease in microsomal heme and cytochrome P450 concentrations. Measurement of the radioactive decay after labeling of the heme moiety of submicrosomal particles shows increased breakdown of heme in rats treated with allylisopropylacetamide. The effects of allylisopropylacetamide on heme synthesis and heme turnover may be interrelated
