title: [Effects of the ingestion of oxidized fish oils on hepatic microsomal enzyme activities and membrane fluidity in rats. Influence of tocopherol overload].
abstract: Rats fed a dietary peroxidized fish oil showed an increase in cytochrome P-450 content and ethoxy-coumarin deethylase (ECDE) activity in liver microsomes. Administration of DL-alpha-tocopherol led to different effects according to the extent of the peroxidation in the fish oil. In rats fed a de-peroxidized oil, the inductive effect of phenobarbital on UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDGPT) activity was depressed by tocopherol. By the same time, induction of P-450 and ECDE remained unchanged, that of epoxide hydrase slightly increased. By contrast tocopherol strongly potentiated the inductive effect of phenobarbital toward UDPGT activity (group I substrates) in rats fed the peroxidized fish oil. The modification of the inductive effect of phenobarbital in combination with tocopherol on UDPGT activities was concomitant with an increase in seric transaminase activity and with a reverse effect as revealed from the study of the rate of fluorescent probes penetration in microsomes. The possible toxicity of the strong dose of tocopherol is discussed.
