1 Treatment of the mice with kahweol and cafestol also resulted in a significant decrease in the cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), the major isozyme involved in CCl(4) bioactivation, specific enzyme activities, such as p-nitrophenol and aniline hydroxylation. cafestol cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily e, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
2 Treatment of the mice with kahweol and cafestol also resulted in a significant decrease in the cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), the major isozyme involved in CCl(4) bioactivation, specific enzyme activities, such as p-nitrophenol and aniline hydroxylation. cafestol cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily e, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
3 These results suggest that the protective effects of kahweol and cafestol against the CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity possibly involve mechanisms related to their ability to block the CYP2E1-mediated CCl(4) bioactivation and free radical scavenging effects. cafestol cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily e, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
