  • Title: Post mortem changes in drug-metabolizing enzymes of rat liver and human liver.
    Author: Gallenkamp H, Berger C, Buschmann J, Richter E.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1981 Dec; 28(6):308-10. PubMed ID: 6284626.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this investigation was to obtain information on the time-dependent decrease of the drug-metabolizing system in autolysing rat liver, and also in human cadaver liver. Rat liver, divided into three parts, was tested immediately after removal and 6 and 12 hrs later. Parameters investigated were: microsomal protein, cytochrome P-450, NADPH cytochrome C reductase, glucose-6-phosphatase, aminopyrine-N-demethylation and aniline-p-hydroxylation. In human liver, samples taken from 0.5 up to 3.5 hrs after death, microsomal protein cytochrome P-450, NADPH cytochrome C reductase and phospholipids were tested. Nearly all parameters based on microsomal protein decrease during autolysis, but by different amounts. Interestingly, the cytochrome P-450 content of patients with signs of shock 12 hrs before death is significantly lower than in patients without shock.
