β¦ Synopsis
Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) inhibited UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity of rat liver in vitro and in vivo. Diethyl phthalate and dimethoxyethyl phthalate also inhibited this enzyme in vitro. On the other hand, DEHP did not inhibit the activity of the cytosolic enzyme N-acetyltransferase; it also did not alter the levels of rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 in vitro. It is suggested that DEHP may alter the composition of microsomal phospholipids.

## Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSHβPx) in the liver of streptozotocin (STZ)βinduc

The intraperitoneal administration of benzene to rats does not alter the sucrose density sedimentation behavior of liver ribonucleic acid but causes an increase of soluble ribonucleic acid species. Treatment of ribonucleic acid in vitro with benzene results in an irregular sucrose density pattern.
