Winston GW, Narayan S: Alteration of liver microsomal monooxygenases and substrate competition with aniline hydroxylase from rats chronically fed low-fat and high-fat-containing alcohol diets. J Biochem Toxicol. 1988 Fall;3:191-212.
Male Sprague-Dawley rats fed ethanol (EtOH) 36% of total calories for four weeks in a liquid diet containing either 34% (HF) or 12% (LF) of calories as fat were studied with respect to induction of microsomal monooxygenases (MFO) and substrate competition with EtOH-inducible aniline hydroxylase. The specific activity and turnover of aniline hydroxylase were induced to similar extents by HF-EtOH and LF-EtOH diets. Whereas, both LF-EtOH and HF-EtOH caused a decrease in the turnover of arylhydrocarbon (benzo [a] pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH) and aldrin epoxidase compared to pair-fed (PF) controls, LF-EtOH but not HF-EtOH increased the turnover of ethoxycoumarin and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (ECOD and EROD). The increase in ECOD and EROD and the decrease in AHH by EtOH is contrary to the parallel induction of these activities by 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) and Aroclor 1254 (Aroclor). Benzo (a) pyrene (BaP) stimulated aniline hydroxylase in the HF-EtOH and PF systems, whereas with LF diet, stimulation was seen only in the EtOH group. Ethoxycoumarin (EC) inhibited aniline hydroxylase by microsomes from EtOH- and pyrazole-treated rats, whereas it stimulated aniline hydroxylase by control microsomes, suggesting that the EC effects were associated with EtOH-inducible cytochrome P-450. Ethoxyresorufin (ER) inhibited aniline hydroxylase in EtOH and PF groups, thus the differential effects of EC were not nonspecific O-deethylase effects. The effects of EtOH feeding on ECOD, EROD, and AHH (ie, substrates for 3-MC-inducible cytochrome P-450) displayed a greater differential between the experimental and control group with the LF- than with the HF-containing diet. The findings suggest that the alteration of certain MFO activities by chronic EtOH ingestion can be modified by the content of dietary fat. Moreover, the competition dynamics of MFO substrates toward EtOH-inducible aniline hydroxylase are altered by EtOH feeding and, in turn, modified by dietary fat. |
