Human CYP4F3s are the main catalysts in the oxidation of fatty acid epoxides
CYP4F isoforms are involved in the oxidation of important cellular mediators such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and prostaglandins. The proinflammatory agent LTB4 and cytotoxic leukotoxins have been associated with several inflammatory diseases.

Studies on the hyperplasia ('regeneration') of the rat liver following partial hepatectomy. Changes in lipid peroxidation and general biochemical aspects [PDF]
Using the experimental model of partial hepatectomy in the rat, we have examined the relationship between cell division and lipid peroxidation activity. In rats entrained to a regime of 12 h light/12 h dark and with a fixed 8 h feeding period in the dark

Characterization of porcine hepatic and intestinal drug metabolizing CYP450 : comparison with human orthologues from a quantitative, activity and selectivity perspective [PDF]
Over the past two decades, the pig has gained attention as a potential model for human drug metabolism. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450), a superfamily of biotransformation enzymes, are pivotal in drug metabolism.

Inhibition of palmitoyl CoA deacylase by chlorophenoxyisobutyrate and betabenzalbutyrate
Palmitoyl CoA deacylase activity was measured in preparations of rat liver microsomes. Two hypolipidemic agents, chlorophenoxyisobutyrate and betabenzalbutyrate caused inhibition of palmitoyl CoA deacylase in vitro.

Characterization of the human omega-oxidation pathway for omega-hydroxy-very-long-chain fatty acids [PDF]
Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) have long been known to be degraded exclusively in peroxisomes via beta-oxidation. A defect in peroxisomal beta-oxidation results in elevated levels of VLCFAs and is associated with the most frequent inherited ...
