By: D. Waxman*, P. Ram, G. Notani Gur, G. Le Blanc, J. Alberta, J. Morrissey, S. Sundseth

MeSH headings : Animals; Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System / genetics; Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System / metabolism; Female; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic / drug effects; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic / physiology; Growth Hormone / physiology; Hypophysectomy; Liver / enzymology; Male; Pituitary Gland / physiology; Protein Biosynthesis / drug effects; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Rats; Rats, Inbred Strains; Steroid Hydroxylases / genetics; Steroid Hydroxylases / metabolism; Thyroxine / physiology
TL;DR: Northern blot analysis revealed that T4, but not ACTH or human CG, can act in concert with GH to effect a more complete suppression of hepatic P-450 IIIA2 mRNA and protein in hypophysectomized rats, suggesting that other pituitary-dependent factors contribute to the suppression observed in the intact rats.

Regulation and ligand-binding specificities of two sex-specific bile acid-binding proteins of rat liver cytosol.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 265(10), 5654–5661.

By: G. LeBlanc* & D. Waxman*

TL;DR: Rat liver cytosolic proteins were photoaffinity labeled with the synthetic steroid [3H]methyltrienolone in order to identify and characterize hepatic proteins that may participate in the intracellular binding and transport of steroid hormones and other sterols and it is proposed that SBP31 and SBP34 function in the intruder binding and/or transport of bile acids.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates that the consequential reduction in serum testosterone levels in HCB-treated rats is not causally related to the reduction in hepatic P450 2c levels, indicating that HCB must also act on some other regulatory mechanism involved in the expression of this protein.

TL;DR: The studies establish that the effects of cisplatin on hepatic P-450 enzyme expression result from its interruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary stimulation of testicular androgen production and that this, in turn, leads to a depletion of circulating androgens required for maintenance of normal P- 450 enzyme expression in adult male rats.
