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 intralobular distribution of ethanol-inducible P450IIE1 in rat and human liver.

TL;DR: The elevated P450IIE1 levels found in perivenular hepatocytes after chronic alcohol intake suggest that increased production of ethanol‐derived toxic metabolites occurs in zone 3 cells, which, in turn, may explain their enhanced susceptibility to alcohol‐mediated damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal cytochrome P-450 from neonatal pig testis. Purification and properties of A C21 steroid side-chain cleavage system (17 alpha-hydroxylase-C17,20 lyase).

TL;DR: The studies raise the possibility that one microsomal protein (cytochrome P-450) may possess two enzymatic activities (hydroxylase and lyase) that require NADPH and a flavoprotein P- 450 reductase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human cytochromes P450

TL;DR: This review deals with aspects of cytochrome P450s of relevance to human physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and medicine, including their role in metabolism of endogenous compounds such as steroids and eicosanoids, and the effect of disease on CYP function, CYPs and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The disposition of voriconazole in mouse, rat, rabbit, guinea pig, dog, and human.

TL;DR: Repeat-dose toxicology studies in mouse, rat, and dog have demonstrated that induction of cytochrome P450 by voriconazole (autoinduction of metabolism) is responsible for the decreased exposure in these species.

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).
