In this work the microsomal lauric acid ω-hydroxylation, fatty acid peroxisomal β-oxidation, and the levels of cytochrome P-450 IVAI were studied in liver tissue from starved rats. Starvation increased the peroxisomal ...

Microsomal lauric acid 12-hydroxy lauric acid (ω)-hydroxylation and fatty acid peroxisomal β-oxidation were studied in kidney tissue from starved rats. Starvation increased the microsomal ω-hydroxylation and peroxisomal ...

Copper toxicity has been associated to the capacity of free copper ions to catalyze the production of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical, reactive species that modify the structure and/or function of biomolecules. In ...

Artepillin C, a natural product present in the Brazilian green propolis, has several biological properties. Among these properties, the antitumor action of this product is noteworthy and makes it a promising drug candidate ...

Azo dyes are known as a group of substances with DNA damage potential that depend on the nature and number of azo groups connected to aromatic rings (benzene and naphthalene), chemical properties, e.g. solubility and ...

Copalic (CA) and kaurenoic (KA) acids are the main diterpenes found in the oleoresin extracted from the copaiba tree (Copaifera sp). This study aimed to characterize the metabolism of CA and KA in rat and human liver ...

Cytochrome P450-dependent oxidation of lauric acid, p-nitrophenol and ethanol by liver microsomal fractions were studied in control rats and in animals given either ethanol, red wine, or alcohol-free red wine for 10 weeks. ...
