Rouer E, Rouet P, Leroux JP: Aldrin epoxidase activity in liver microsomes from normal or streptozotocin-diabetic rats: comparison with activity in isolated hepatocytes from normal rats incubated with glucagon. Biosci Rep. 1987 Feb;7(2):129-33. Aldrin epoxidase activity in liver microsomes from streptozotocin-diabetic rats is only 40% of that from normal rats. Epoxidation of aldrin has also been assayed in freshly isolated hepatocytes from normal rats. Addition of 10 (-7) M glucagon to the incubation medium leads to a decreased aldrin epoxidase activity. Owing to the previously reported phosphorylation of a purified cytochrome P-450 isozyme, it is postulated that the cytochrome P-450 dependent aldrin epoxidase may be regulated by a glucagon induced phosphorylation process. |
