Batt AM, Martin N, Siest G: Induction of group-1 and group-2 UDP-glucuronosyltransferase in microsomes from the livers of C57 Bl/6 mice. Toxicol Lett. 1981 Dec;9(4):355-60.
In a study of multiple forms of liver microsomal UDPglucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) with different substrate specificities, enzyme induction was examined in inducible C57 Bl/6 mice pretreated with phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene, Aroclor 1254, safrole, beta-naphthoflavone, and pregnenolone-16-alpha-carbonitrile. Phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene were much more potent inducers than the other four compounds. 3-methylcholanthrene stimulated the glucuronidation of 4-nitrophenol, 4-bromophenol, and 4-chlorophenol ("group-1' substrates) more than phenobarbital, whereas phenobarbital stimulated the glucuronidation of 4-hydroxyphenobarbital, menthol, eugenol, 4-hydroxybiphenyl, morphine, 1-borneol, 4-hydroxyphenytoin, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthol ("group-2' substrates). This pattern is analogous to that previously observed in rat-liver microsomes. |
