Abstract

To elucidate the effect of acute ethanol pretreatment on some toluene metabolizing enzyme activities, rats were divided into 4groups: control, alcohol-treated, toluene-treated, rat's and toluene-treated rats pretreated with ethanol. The alcohol or toluene-treated rats showed the significantly increased activities of hepatic aniline hydroxylase(AH) and aminopyrine demethylase(AD) compared to the control group. And the toluene-treated rats pretreated with ethanol showed somewhat decreased tendency of these enzyme activities compared to only toluene-treated rats. Liver benzylalcohol or aldehyde dehydrogenase activities were higher in alcohol or toluene-treated rats than those of the control group. The toluene-treated rats showed the decreased tendency of benzylalcohol dehydrogenase activities by the pretreatment of alcohol. Furthermore, toluene treated-rats showed the markedly decreased activity of benzaldehyde dehydrogenase by the ethanol pretreat-ment. On the other hand, hepatic xanthine oxidase activity in toluene-treated animals pretreated with ethanol was significantly higher than those of the toluene alone-treated rats. These results indicate that the combination of ethanol with toluene treatment for a short period of time possibly results in decreased activity of some toluene metabolizing enzymes in rats.

흰쥐를 대조군과 체중 100g 당 ethanol 0.3ml를 1일 1회 4일간 복강내로 투여한 실험군, 체중 100g당 toluene 0.3ml를 1일 1회 4일간 복강내로 투여한 실험군 및 ethanol 투여 2시간 후 toluene을 투여한 군으로 나누어 실험을 행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Alcohol 투여군, toluene투여군 모두 간 microsomal aniline hydroxylase(AH) 및 aminopyrine demethylase(AD) 활성도가 대조군 보다 유의한 증가를 보였다. Toluene과 ethanol의 병 행군은 toluene 투여군 보다 AH 및 AD 활성도가 다소 낮게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 간조직 중 benzylalcohol dehydrogenase 활성도 역시 alcohol 및 toluene 투여군 모두 대조군에 비하여 높게 나타났으며 toluene과 alcoho의 병행투여군은 toluene 투여군 보다 본 효소 활성도가 다소 낮게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 한편 간조직 중 benzaldehyde dehydrogenase 활성도는 alcohol 및 toluene 투여군 모두 대조군에 비하여 증가되는 경향을 보였으며 alcohol과 toluene의 병행투여군은 toluene 투여군 보다 유의한 감소를 보였다. 또한 간조직 중 xanthine oxidase 활성도는 alcohol과 toluene 병행 투여군이 toluene 투여군 보다 유의하게증가되었다. 이상 실험성적을 종합해 볼 때 alcohol의 전처치는 toluene 대사 효소 활성도를 억제시켜 toluene 대사에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각된다.
