Effect of glucose on induction of δ-aminolevulinic acid synthase, ferrochelatase and cytochrome P-450 hemoproteins in isolated rat hepatocytes by phenobarbital and lead
In the present work we have been able to demonstrate the phenobarbital and lead exert an inducing effect on the biosynthesis of δ-aminovulenic acid synthase, ferrochelatase and cytochrome P-450 hemoproteins in isolated rat hepatocytes of normal adult rats.

| Sumario: | In the present work we have been able to demonstrate the phenobarbital and lead exert an inducing effect on the biosynthesis of δ-aminovulenic acid synthase, ferrochelatase and cytochrome P-450 hemoproteins in isolated rat hepatocytes of normal adult rats. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP enhances the induction effect produced by phenobarbital in this in vitro system. Glucose inhibits the induction of δ-aminolevulinic acid synthase and ferrochelatase. This repression effect can be reversed with increasing concentrations of dibutyryl cyclic AMP. No glucose effect was observed on the phenobarbital- and lead-mediated inductions of cytochrome P-450. The present results add more experimental evidence to support the concept that the last enzyme of the heme pathway is inducible, and as such may have a significant role in regulatory mechanisms of porphyrin and heme biosynthesis. © 1985. |
