Abstract
The production of hydrogen peroxide by isolated hepatocytes in response to lauric, palmitic and oleic acids, a measurement of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation, is inhibited by phenothiazines under conditions in which ketone body production, a measurement of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, does not reveal inhibition of mitochondrial activity. This novel finding provides a pharmacological tool for the study of peroxisomal function in whole cells. The mechanism of this effect of phenothiazines, detected in hepatocytes from rats treated with a peroxisome proliferation inducing drug, is not yet known.Entities:
