Because hepatic UDP-glucuronic acid levels decrease upon exposure to volatile anesthetics, the present study was designed to determine the mechanism by which enflurane decreases UDP-glucuronic acid in mice by measuring the concentrations of intermediates and the activities of enzymes in the UDP-glucuronic acid pathway. UDP-glucuronic acid concentrations were decreased by 40% in both male and female mice after 10 min of enflurane-induced narcosis. Concentration of UDP-glucose and the activities of diethylstilbestrol UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and UDP-glucose dehydrogenase were not affected by enflurane treatment. In contrast, nucleotide pyrophophatase activity was increased approximately 50% in both sexes. Thus, the decrease in hepatic UDP-glucuronic acid upon exposure of mice to enflurane is probably due to increased degradation by nucleotide pyrophosphatase.
由于暴露于挥发性麻醉剂后肝脏UDP-葡萄糖醛酸水平会降低,本研究旨在通过测量UDP-葡萄糖醛酸途径中中间体的浓度和酶的活性,来确定恩氟烷降低小鼠UDP-葡萄糖醛酸的机制。恩氟烷诱导麻醉10分钟后,雄性和雌性小鼠的UDP-葡萄糖醛酸浓度均降低了40%。UDP-葡萄糖的浓度以及己烯雌酚UDP-葡萄糖醛酸基转移酶和UDP-葡萄糖脱氢酶的活性不受恩氟烷处理的影响。相比之下,核苷酸焦磷酸酶活性在两性中均增加了约50%。因此,小鼠暴露于恩氟烷后肝脏UDP-葡萄糖醛酸的降低可能是由于核苷酸焦磷酸酶降解增加所致。
