title: NADPH-dependent reduction of amaranch in liver microsomes characterized the quantity of low spin forms of cytochrome P-450.
abstract: We confirmed that NADPH-dependent anaerobic amaranch reduction in rat liver microsomes is compatible with the interaction of the dye with Fe(III) heme of cytochrome P-450 as the type II substrate. This process is rate-limiting in the whole reaction. High positive correlation (r = 0.949) between the values of Vmax for reaction of NADPH-dependent anaerobic amaranch reduction and the relative content low spin forms of cytochrome P-450 determined by ESR in microsomes from liver of control and induced by PB, BP, IS and 4-MP rats was observed. Relative content of low spin forms of cytochrome P-450 determined by ESR was increased according to BP less than PB less than control less than IS approximately 4-MP; Vmax values increased according to BP less than PB less than control less than IS less than 4-MP. Thus, reaction of NADPH-dependent anaerobic amaranch reduction may be used for determination of low spin forms of cytochrome P-450 at physiological conditions.
