Journal ArticleDOI

Regio- and stereoselective regulation of monooxygenase activities by isoenzyme-selective phosphorylation of cytochrome P450.

TL;DR: Isoenzyme-selective phosphorylation of cytochrome P450 leads to a corresponding isoenzyme -selective modulation of monooxygenase activity which holds promise to be especially important as a fast regulation of the control of genotoxic metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

First evidence of cytochrome P-450 induction in the mouse brain by phenytoin

TL;DR: The cerebellar tissue was shown to be distinguished by a 15-fold enhancement of cytochrome P-450 PB3a activity, that means twice the extent of that found in liver and cerebrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutagenicity of structurally related oxiranes derivatives of benzene and its hydrogenated congeners

TL;DR: The mutagenicities of 17 closely related oxiranes were determined in 4 tester strains and the influence of bromo and hydroxyl substitution on oxirane mutagenicity is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detoxification of optically active bay- and fjord-region polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dihydrodiol epoxides by human glutathione transferase P1-1 expressed in Chinese hamster V79 cells.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that differences in the caalytic activity seen for purified GST towards individual mutagens do not necessarily reflect the detoxification of DEs by the same enzyme in a living cell and provides further evidence that specific human GSTs play a role in the detoxifying ofDEs of PAHs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fluorometric assay for quantitating phenol sulfotransferase activities in homogenates of cells and tissues.

TL;DR: A comparison to another widely used method is given to point out the advantages provided by the new procedure and results clearly indicate the superiority of the new method.
