  • Title: Effect of prostacyclin on the mixed function microsomal oxigenase system in the rat liver.
    Author: Bálint GA, Pap A, Karácsony G, Varró V, Szabó I.
    Journal: Acta Med Hung; 1984; 41(4):247-52. PubMed ID: 6393032.
    Abstract:
    The microsomal fraction of the liver was studied for protein and cytochrome P450 contents as well as for aminopyrine-N-demethylase and aniline-hydroxylase activity and for its BIC spectrum under the effect of PG-I2 treatment. A significant increase was found in the cytochrome P450 content after short term treatment, while continuation of PG-I2 administration caused a significant and long lasting decrease of cytochrome P450. After prolonged application of PG-I2 the aniline-hydroxylase content decreased significantly, while the aminopyrine-N-demethylase enzyme showed no change. The BIC spectrum after 80 days PG-I2 treatment significantly decreased in the 431-432 nm region, corresponding to the decrease of cytochrome P450. Long term PG-I2 application caused no detectable ultrastructural changes in the liver.
