Antiserum against purified rat liver microaomal epoxide hydrolase was produced in the rabbit. We developed an enzyme-linked immunoaorbent assay which is reliable with regard to its analytical criteria. The concentration of epoxide hydrolase was measured in liver microaomes of control rats and animal

✦ Synopsis
Pur i f ied epox ide hydrolase was immobilized by covalent binding to Sephadex G-150 activated with 1,l' carbonyl diimidazole under mild conditions Kmapp values of free and immobilized epoxide hydrolase were 0.5~ M and 2~ M respectively towards benzo(a)p rene-4,5-oxide,-YherEys Vmaxapp was decreased from 300 nmol.min-'.mg-Y to 81 nmol.min .mg . Immobilization enhanced stability and allowed repeated use of the enzyme.

Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) is inducible by a number of xenobiotics. Induction of mEH by certain chemopreventive agents may implicate the protective effect. In contrast, many of carcinogenic agents also induce the enzyme. The hepatotoxicity and mEH expression by methylthiazoles, which are inc
The effects of tienilic acid [ 2,3-dichloro-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)phenoxy acetic acid] on drug-metabolizing enzymes in the rat liver and kidneys were studied. Short-term treatment for 2 weeks (450 mg per kg per day) increased the activity of microsomal epoxide hydrolase at least two-fold in both rat
