Modification of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes in rat fed naturally occurring allyl sulphides.
1. The effects of feeding allyl sulphides to rat (2000 ppm of the diet for 15 days) were investigated on various microsomal hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes by their immunochemical detection and catalytic activity. 2. Allyl sulphides provoked a temporary dietary restriction, which enhanced the microsomal level of P450 and the activities of NADH-cytochrome c reductase and p-hydroxybiphenyl UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UDPGT 2), and lowered the activities of p-nitrophenol hydroxylase (PNPH), N-nitrosodimethylamine demethylase (NDMAD), laurate omega-hydroxylase (LAH) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Therefore, pair-fed animals were used as a more relevant control for the dietary effects of allyl sulphides. 3. Diallyl sulphide (DAS) as well as diallyl disulphide (DADS) produced an enhancement of the microsomal level of P4501A2, 2B1/2 and 3A1/2, and epoxide hydrolase (EH) proteins, with an increase in the enzymatic activities they catalyse: ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH), methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD), ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD), pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase (PROD), benzoxyresorufin O-debenzylase (BROD) and EH. Although P4502E1 proteins were lowered on treatment, NDMAD activity was not modified, and PNPH activity was even enhanced by allyl sulphides. Only DAS treatment raised erythromycin N-demethylase (ERDM) activity. 4. Both DAS and DADS increased the activity of GST and p-nitrophenol UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UDPGT 1), whereas UDPGT 2 activity was enhanced only by DAS.
