title: Effect of glycerol-induced acute renal failure and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate on the enzymes involved in biotransformation of xenobiotixs.
abstract: The effects of di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEPH) on the levels of cytochrome P-450 and b5 monooxygenases were studied in the rat kidney and liver in acute renal failure induced by glycerol. Intramuscular injection of glycerol (50%,10 ml x kg(-1)) to rats produced proximal tubular damage and acute renal failure. The indicators of renal function, serum urea and creatinine significantly increased (480 and 350 percent, respectively). In control and glycerol-treated animals DEPH had no significant effect on the concentrations of serum urea and creatinine. Twenty-four hours after glycerol injection the total amount of cytochrome P-450 and b5 significantly decreased in renal but increased in liver microsomal fractions. Moreover, 48 and 72 hours after glycerol injection the level of cytochrome P-450 and b5 significantly increased in both organs. A single dose of DEPH (2 ml x kg(-1), i.p.) also elevated the total cytochrome P-450 and b5 in control animals. This enhancing effect of DEPH was additive to that of glycerol in glycerol-induced acute renal failure. These results indicate that DEPH and glycerol evoked pathological changes may affect the metabolism of xenobiotics plus endogenous hormones in the liver and in kidney.
