Effects of Trolox on the activity and gene expression of cytochrome P450 in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion.

ABSTRACT: 1. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Trolox on hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity and gene expression during ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). 2. Rats were subjected to 60 min of hepatic ischemia, and 5 h (acute phase) and 24 h (subacute phase) of reperfusion. Rats were treated intravenously with Trolox (2.5 mg kg(-1)) or vehicle, 5 min before reperfusion. 3. The serum alanine aminotransferase level and lipid peroxidation were increased as a result of I/R. These increases were attenuated by Trolox. Reduced glutathione concentration decreased in I/R group, and this decrease was inhibited by Trolox. 4. Both total hepatic CYP content and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase activity decreased after I/R, which were restored by Trolox. 5. CYP1A1 activity and its pro
