[The effect of vitamin E deficiency on enzyme activity and the status of the membrane fraction of rat liver microsomes].
The vitamin E deficiency was studied for its effect on the activity of enzymes participating in metabolism of xenobiotics. Experiments with 54 rats have demonstrated that the maintenance of animals on the vitamin-E-deficient diet within 13-14 weeks decreases the activity of microsomal monooxygenases (demethylase and hydroxylase), NADH- and NADPH-reductases, aryl- and aliesterases in the liver and lungs, which is a result of disturbance of hydrophobic and polar interactions in microsomal membranes. Vitamin E deficiency makes the extent of solubilization of these enzymes higher under the influence of deoxycholate and trypsin and intensifies inactivation of these enzymes under the effect of urea. In the lungs and in the liver of the vitamin E deficient rats the content of reduced glutathione decreases as well as the activity of glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase, aldehyde dehydrogenase, while the activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase increases; glutathione disulphide is accumulated.
