Bromobenzene투여시 GE-132의 해독기전을 추구할 목적으로 epoxide생성계와 해독계 효소 및 glutathione 관련 효소계의 활성에 GE-132가 어떤 영향을 주는가를 검토하여 다음과 같은 실험 결과를 얻었다. GE-132(100mg/kg)의 전처리로 cytochrome P-450, amino=pyrine demethylase 및 aniline hydroxylase와 해독계 효소인 epoxide hydrolase활성에는 영향을 미치지 않았으나, glutathions S-transferase활성은 증가 하였다. Bromobenzene(460mg/kg)을 주사하였을때 glutathione S-transferase의 활성이 현저히 감소되던 것이 GE-132의 투여로 대조군 수준으로 증가되었다. 조직내 glutathione의 함량변동도 bromobenzene 투여로 감소되던 것이 GE-132의 전처리로 bromobenzene단독 투여군보다 증가되었으며 ${\gamma}-glutamylcystein$ synthtase의 활성은 각 실험군에서 별다른 영향이 없는데 비해 glutathione reductase의 활성은 bromobenzene투여로 억제 되던 것이 GE-132의 전처리로 대조군 수준으로 활성을 유지하고 있었다.

To evaluate the effect of bromobenzene pretreatment on the bromobenzene metabolism, the animal group was induced the stage of slight liver damage with 7 times bromobenzene injection every two days (400 mg/kg body wt. i.p.). In the present experimental animal model, the single dose of bromobenzene(400 mg/kg body wt. i.p.) was injected to the bromobenzene-pretreated rats and the hepatic aniline hydroxylase(AH) activity, glutathione(GSH) content and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity were determined at the intervals of 2, 4, 8, 24 hours throughout 24 hr. The activities of hepatic AH and GST were generally higher in bromobenzene-pretreated rats than those in normal group throughout the whole course of experiment. Furthermore, the decreasing rate of hepatic GSH content was also higher in bromobenzene pretreated rats than in normal rats. Moreover, the value of V$_{max}$ in hepatic GST was higher in bromobenzene pretreated rats than that in the normal rats. In conclusion, these results indicate that the pretreatment of bromobenzene may rather enhance the bromobenzene metabolism.

Sodium arsenate and Paljin-Tang extract (PJT), a herbal restorative were treated p.o. 20 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg, respectively, and concurrently to rats, and examined the effects on the liver of rats. The values of protein, aniline hydroxylase (AH) and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) were increased in arsenic-treated group. The values of glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-P) and ${\delta}-aminolevulinic$ acid dehydratase (ALAD) of arsenic-treated group were decreased. But concurrent ad-ministration with PJT showed significant recovery from the toxicity of arsenic.

In this study, it was examined the toxic effects of combination of buprofezin and carbaryl on hematological, biological and enzymetic parameters in rats. The administration of buprofezin or carbaryl both induced the tissue content of cytochrome P-450 and furthermore, the combination of the both increased significantly the liver content of cytochrome P-450 in rat. But cytochrome P-450 and NADPH -cytochrome c reductase activities in kidney were slightly increased. Administration of carbaryl and combination of the both also significantly increased hepatic aniline hydroxylase activity. In addition, in the combination group, glucose-6-phosphatase and lipid peroxidase activities were changed in the rat liver. Furthermore, cholinesterase was inhibited in rats treated with carbaryl or the combination of buprofezin and carbaryl. The above results suggested that the combined administration of buprofezin and carbaryl can induce more toxic effects than the single administration of buprofezin or carbaryl.

In order to investigate the effects of Yukmijihwang-Tang on the hepatic microsomal function of Cd-poisoned rats, 3 mg/kg of cadmium (Cd) and 500 mg/kg of Yukmijihwang-Tang extract (YJT), a herbal hepatoprotective medicine, were administered concurrently to rats for 4 weeks. The levels of protein, aniline hydroxylase (AH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were increased in Cd-treated group. This increase was suppressed by treatment or YJT. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-P) and ${\delta}-aminolevulinic$ acid dehydratase (ALAD) of Cd-treated group were decreased. This decrease was inhibited by treatment of YJT. Treatment with YJT significantly protects cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity.

The present study was undertaken in order to elucidate the effects of pretreatment with nicotinamide on changes in the hepatic metabolizing enzyme system inducted by streptozotocin (STZ). In rats, STZ(50mg/kg) administered by tail vein caused a significant rise in hepatic aniline hydroxylase and a decrease in aminopyrine N-demethylase when compared to control (p<0.05). Pretreatment with nicotinamice inhibited these effects (p<0.05). Similarly, STZ induced changes in hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 activity were inhibited by pretreatment with nicotinamide (p<0.05). However, changes in UDP-glucuronyl transferase and sulfortransferase activity were not significantly different(p>0.05). Pretreatment with nicotinamide also prevented STZ induced increases in glutathion S-tranferase activity when compared to the control(p<0.05). There results suggest that nicotinamide pretreatment suppresses STZ-induced changes in the hepatic metabolizing enzyme system.

To evaluate the postmortem changes in activities of oxygen free radical metabolizing enzymes, the rats were sacrificed with cervical dislocation and were kept in an incubator at $25^{\circ}C$, 70% of humidity for 12 hours. The activities of aniline hydroxylase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase and superoxlde dismutase were decreased with the time. On the other hand, the activity and type conversion ratio (type D ${\to}$type O) of hepatic xanthine oxidase (XO) were gradually increased. From these changes of XO, the estimation of death time (mathematical equation) could be determined with the least square method. To clarify the cause of increasing XO activity, enzyme kinetics were examined. The Km values of XO were decreased with the time. In conclusion, the determination of liver XO activity might be used for the estimation of death time in the early postmortem period.

Medicinal plants were screened for the inhibitory effects on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 pretense. Of the extracts tested, the strong inhibitory effects were observed in the acetone extracts of the pericarp of Camellia japonica. Camelliatannin H from the pericarp of C. japonica showed a potent inhibitory activity on HIV-1 pretense. Effects of the extract and compound from leaves of Zanthoxylum piperitum on the enzyme activities were investigated in the liver of bromobenzene-treated rats. The methanol extract and protocatechuic acid isolated from Z. pipetitum reduced the activity of aniline hydroxylase that increased by bromobenzene, while did not affect the activities of aminopyrin N-demethylase and glutathione S-transferase. The extract and protocatechuic acid recovered significantly the activity of epoxide hydrolase decreased by bromobenzene.

Inhibitory effects of the essential oils obtained from ten herbs were tested on acetaminophen-induced lipid peroxidation in the rat. The oil of Artemisia princeps var. orientalis buds (AP-oil) showed the most significant hepatic malondialdehyde value which was comparable to those of ascorbic acid and methionine. This was warranted by the protective effect on hepatic glutathione depletion. Overview of the data on the activities of hepatic microsomal enzymes, aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase led to the notice that the suppressed activities of those enzymes are mainly responsible for the anti-lipid peroxidation. The interpretation of GC-MS data on the AP-oil revealed the ingredient of cineol, thujone, carvone, borneol, camphor and terpineol.

약물, hormone, 독성물질등의 대사능과 발암 가능성등이 간장 장해시 및 ketosis시에 달라지는 원인과 기전, 독성물질 대사효소의 변동과 그 작용기전을 규명하고자, 대표적인 간장장해 물질인 carbon tetrachloride를 rat에 투여하여 간장 장해를 일으키고, 당뇨병, starvation, high-fat diet처리하여 ketosls상태를 만든 후에, specific cytochrome P45O polyclonal antibodies와 cDNA probes를 사용하여, enzyme activitieg, Western immunoblot analysis와 mRNA Northern blot analysis 등을 실험하여, 간장 장해와 ketosis시 cytochrome P45O의 변동과 그 작용기전, regulation을 규명하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, $CCl_4$투여후 P450IIE enzyme (aniline hydroxylase) 활성이 시간 의존적으로 급격히 떨어졌고, P450IIE protein양이 똑같은 방식으로 감소되었으나 mRNA level은 변화가 없었다. $CCl_4$에 의해서 P450IIE는 protein의 특이적인 파괴에 의한 post-translational reduction됨을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 당뇨병, starvation, high-fat diet등 ketosis시에는 P450IIE 효소활성이 2-3배 증가되었고, P450IIE protein양도 같은 수준으로 증가되었으며, mRNA도 증가 되었다. Ketosis시에는 P450IIE가 pretranslational activation됨을 알 수 있었다.
