Abstract

A 5-month treatment of rats with ethanol (10% solution in drinking water) stimulated aniline p-hydroxylase and the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) by 140 and 70%, respectively, cytochrome P-450 by 22% and accompanied by lipid peroxidation by 40% in microsomes. It also caused smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) proliferation and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) degranulation in hepatocytes. Repeated inhalatory exposure of rats to 1.5 g/m3 of CS2, 5 h daily, 5 days a week for 5 months decreased aniline p-hydroxylase and MEOS by 70 and 55% respectively, doubled hexobarbital sleeping time and depressed cytochrome P-450 by 30% and its conversion to cytochrome P-420; these effects were accompanied by the appearance of cytochrome P-420, the intensification of lipid peroxidation in microsomes and some degranulation of RER in hepatocytes. Combined exposure of rats to ethanol and CS2 resulted in a significant potentiation of the inhibitory effects of CS2 on cytochrome P-450 mono-oxygenase and MEOS but with enhancement of CS2 effects on the liver microsomal mono-oxygenase, but CS2 decreased the effect of ethanol on SER proliferation. The interaction both on the biochemical and the morphological level can be explained with the e...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
