title: [Chronic effect of ammonium fluoride on selected parameters of microsomal fracture of the rat liver with special reference to the cytochrome P-450 system].
abstract: Male Wistar rats were exposed to NH4F in concentration corresponding to mean annual limit of fluoride compounds in the atmospheric air. After 3, 6 and 9 months a microsomal fraction was isolated from the liver, and the composition as well as the metabolic activity of this fraction was determined. The content of microsomal protein increased after 3-month-long period of experiment, and subsequently it dropped after the period of 9 months. The content of phospholipids decreased after 3 months. The content of microsomal cholesterol was particularly high after a 6-month-long experiment. There were also changes in the contents of individual phospholipid fractions, and fatty acids of phospholipids. The content of cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b5 and activity of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase did not change. Activity of NADPH-dependent reductase of cytochrome c--decreased after the period of 9 months. Moreover, as consequence of changes in the activity of cytochrome P-450 system and the endoplasmic reticulum composition, alterations were observed in the metabolism of the tested substrates i.e. aniline and aminopyrine. The aniline turnover was inhibited after 6 and that of aminopyrine after 9 months experiment. The observed changes may prove that the detoxication capacity of the liver was impaired due to being exposed to ammonium fluoride.
