The effects of long-term insulin-dependent diabetes on the enzymatic activities of hepatic cytochrome P450 isozymes were determined in rats rendered diabetic by the administration of streptozotocin and killed 4, 8, and 12 weeks following treatment. The 0-dealkylations of ethoxyresorufin and pentoxyr

Liver primary cell cultures (LPCC) with decreasing concentrations of cytochrome P-450 were used to investigate the genotoxicity of the hepatic carcinogen dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) and the correlation between DMN genotoxicity and cytochrome P-450 levels. Hepatocytes were isolated from partially hepat
23%-34%), although the other enzyme, quinone reductase, which helps in the removal of toxic quinones, was found to be elevated (184%-199%). These results suggest several mechanisms by which benzanthrone may inhibit P450. This impairment of xenobiotic metabolism as well as the enhancement of lipid pe
## Abstract Quinone toxicity is induced by two principal mechanisms: arylation/alkylation and a redox cycle. We have previously shown that increases in intracellular levels of superoxide anion and cell death induced by 2,3βdimethoxyβ1,4βnaphthoquinone (DMNQ), a redox cycling quinone, are enhanced b
