In clinical cases and experimental animals, zinc deficiency results in several unfavorable features including growth retardation, hypogonadism, rough skin, and general lethargy. Regarding drug-metabolizing enzymes, there have only been reports that zinc deficiency reduced the content of mRNA and protein of male-specific CYP3A2, CYP3A18 and CYP2C11, and increased the mRNA levels of female-specific CYP2C12 and CYP3A9. We investigated the effects of zinc deficiency on alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) and cytochrome P450s in rats. Cytosolic ADH1 activity was lower in male rats than in female rats. The lower ADH1 activity in male rats was increased to the level of that in female rats by zinc deficiency. Microsomal 20β-HSD activity was detected at a high rate in male rats but was under the limit of quantification (LOQ) in female rats. The high 20β-HSD activity in male rats was decreased to below the LOQ by zinc deficiency. 7-Ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity was inhibited by chloramphenicol in female zinc deficiency rats, but not in female control rats and male rats, indicating the induction of CYP2B1 by zinc deficiency in female rats. The mechanisms of changes in enzyme activity in male rats will be discussed based on the impaired testosterone-hypothalamus-pituitary axis originated from hypogonadism caused by zinc deficiency. The mechanisms of CYP2B1 induction in female rats are still unknown.}, pages = {85--97}, title = {亜鉛欠乏がラット肝薬物代謝酵素に及ぼす影響}, year = {2005}, yomi = {ニワタ, ヒデアキ and マルヤマ, カオリ and タカダ, フミコ and イイズカ, ユキスミ and イトウ, クニオ and タナカ, ヨリヒサ} }
