Biosynthesis of presqualene pyrophosphate by liver microsomes
Microsomes from rat liver have been shown to synthesize a squalene precursor from farnesyl pyrophosphate. This intermediate is identical with presqualene pyrophosphate, a 30-carbon cyclopropane containing pyrophosphate ester that had previously been ...

Inhibition of in vitro metabolism of testosterone in human, dog and horse liver microsomes to investigate species differences. [PDF]
Testosterone hydroxylation was investigated in human, canine and equine liver microsomes and in human and canine single CYPs. The contribution of the CYP families 1, 2 and 3 was studied using chemical inhibitors. Testosterone metabolites were analyzed by

A new pathway for phosphatidylserine synthesis in rat liver microsomes [PDF]
It has been shown that the phosphate moiety of glycerophosphate is incorporated into phosphatidylserine of rat liver microsomes, but not of mitochondria. The reaction is dependent on CMP.

Sidedness of ceramide-phosphoethanolamine synthesis on rat liver and brain microsomal membranes.
Phosphatidylethanolamine:ceramide-ethanolamine-phosphotransferase catalyzes the synthesis of ceramide-phosphoethanolamine, a sphingomyelin analogue. Its localization was studied in rat liver and brain microsomes.

Fumonisin B1 metabolism by bovine liver microsomes
Only limited and contrasting information is available about the metabolic fate in cattle of fumonisin B1, a mycotoxin produced by moulds of Fusarium. This study was carried out to evaluate the hepatic metabolism of fumonisin B1 by bovine liver microsomes.

Bovine liver slices combined with an androgen transcriptional activation assay: an in-vitro model to study the metabolism and bioactivity of steroids [PDF]
Previously we described the properties of a rapid and robust yeast androgen bioassay for detection of androgenic anabolic compounds, validated it, and showed its added value for several practical applications.
