TLDR
The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.

The identification, solubilization, and characterization of microsome-associated glutathione S-transferases.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the pattern of glutathione S-transferases in the microsomal fraction is similar to that in the cytoplasm, which may be important in the control of some reactive metabolites generated bymicrosomal monooxygenases within this membrane which preferentially remain within the membrane because of their lipophilicity.

Iron deficiency prevents liver toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

TL;DR: Porphyria did not develop in the iron-deficient animals, and these animals were also protected from hepatocellular damage and certain other toxic effects of TCDD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemically induced nephrotoxicity: role of metabolic activation.

TL;DR: Renal xenobiotic metabolism can result in production of electrophiles or free radicals that may covalently bind macromolecules or initiate lipid peroxidation in renal cells due to tubular concentrating and/or secretory mechanisms.

Reduction of nifurtimox and nitrofurantoin to free radical metabolites by rat liver mitochondria. Evidence of an outer membrane-located nitroreductase.

TL;DR: Results provide direct evidence of a nitrofuran reductase activity associated with the mitochondrial outer membrane that is far more important than that of respiratory chain enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification, characterization, and pituitary regulation of the sex-specific cytochrome P-450 15 beta-hydroxylase from liver microsomes of untreated female rats.

TL;DR: P-450 15 beta is proposed to be the enzyme responsible for the predominance of 15 beta-hydroxylated steroid sulfate metabolites in excreta of female rats, and their absence in males.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

The Carbon Monoxide-binding Pigment of Liver Microsomes II. SOLUBILIZATION, PURIFICATION, AND PROPERTIES

TL;DR: The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.

Hepatic Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide-Cytochrome c Reductase: Isolation, Characterization, and Kinetic Studies

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that this enzyme participates in a microsomal elect,ron transport system which does not include cytochrome c and kinetic evidence has been obtained which allows certain conclusions to be drawn concerning the mechanism of catalysis by this enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal triphosphopyridine nucleotide-cytochrome c reductase of liver.

TL;DR: The biological role of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) and the metabolic pathways of its hydrogen atom and electron appear to be fundamentally different from those of reduced diphosphipyridineucleotide (DPNH).
