title: Effect of diabetes on rat liver cytochrome P-450. Evidence for a unique diabetes-dependent rat liver cytochrome P-450.
abstract: Detergent-solubilized hepatic microsomal fractions from alloxan diabetic rats exhibited a 52,000 molecular weight hemeprotein band that was not present in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) protein profiles of identically solubilized hepatic microsomal fractions from normal, 3-methylcholanthrene- or phenobarbital-treated rats. This 52,000 mol. wt hemeprotein band disappeared from the protein profile of insulin-treated diabetic rat liver to yield the SDS-PAGE profile of normal rat liver. When P-450 hemeproteins were purified by lauric acid affinity and hydroxylapatite chromatography from solubilized microsomes, only the diabetic rat had a 52,000 mol. wt P-450. This distinct 52,000 mol. wt diabetes-induced P-450 interacted with type II compounds to yield a 2-fold greater absorbance change than was observed with the purified P-450s from either the normal or the chemically induced rats. The properties of this unique 52,000 mol. wt P-450 suggest that it may be the catalytic component responsible for the increased rate of type II substrate (aniline) metabolism observed in the diabetic rat.
