[Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase contents and activities in human liver microsomes prepared from Chinese adults].
Seven human liver samples were collected in this study. Five of them were obtained from donors died from non-disease accident, one was taken from part of the normal tissue of a liver specimen obtained by partial hepatectomy in a case of hepatic cavernous hemangioma and the last one from postmortem died by road accident. All the liver pieces were stored at -75 degrees C immediately after removed from the body. Liver microsomes was prepared by differential ultracentrifugation. The contents of cytochrome P450 and cytochrome b5 in Chinese adult liver microsomes were 0.36 +/- 0.08 and 0.23 +/- 0.05 nmol.mg-1 protein (n = 7). The activities of aminopyrine and ethylmorphine N-demethylase, 7-ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase, nifedipine oxidase and (-)-praziquantel hydroxylase were 1.07 +/- 0.23, 1.82 +/- 0.31, 0.30 +/- 0.10, 0.43 +/- 0.18 and 0.69 +/- 0.43 nmol.mg-1.min-1 (n = 7), respectively.
