Arch Toxicol. 2007 Mar;81(3):169-82. Epub 2006 Aug 12.

PAH treatment increased the CYP1A-catalyzed activity of pyrene 1-hydroxylation and 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation in rat liver by up to 28- and 279-fold, and in rat lung by up to 22- and 51-fold, respectively. 1-Naphthol (hUGT1A6), 1-hydroxypyrene (hUGT1A6/1A9), and entacapone (hUGT1A9) are markers of PAH-glucuronidating human uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT).
NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and glutathione S-transferase activities increased up to 5.3- and 1.6-fold (liver), and up to 4.4- and 1.4-fold (lung), respectively.

A similar pattern but of lesser magnitude was seen with glutathione S-transferase activity. 3,4-Benzoquinoline was the only agent to significantly increase microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity (2,3-fold).
Acridine treatment increased UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity toward morphine (47%), 1-naphthol (28%), testosterone (19%), and estrone (19%).

In contrast, glutathione S-transferase activity in hepatic cytosol, determined with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as substrate, was significantly lower in the cattle and deer.
