Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the effects of long-term tea polyphenols (TPs) consumption on hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes and liver function in rats. METHODS: TPs were administered intragastrically to rats at the doses of 833 mg.kg(-1).d(-1) (n=20) and 83.3 mg.kg(-1).d(-1) (n=20) respectively for six months. Controlled group (n=20) was given same volume of saline solution. Then the contents of cytochrome P450, b5, enzyme activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase (ADM), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and the biochemical liver function of serum were determined. RESULTS: The contents of cytochrome P450 and b5 in the livers of male rats in high dose groups (respectively 2.66 +/- 0.55, 10.43 +/- 2.78 nmol.mg MS pro(-1)) were significantly increased compared with the control group (1.08 +/- 1.04, 5.51 +/- 2.98 nmol.mg MS pro(-1); P<0.01, respectively). The enzymatic activities of ADM in the livers of female rats in high dose groups (0.91 +/- 0.08 mmol.mg MS pro(-1)min(-1)) were increased compared with the control group (0.82 +/- 0.08 mmol.mg MS pro(-1).min(-1); P<0.05). The GST activity was unchanged in all treated groups, and the function of liver was not obviously changed. CONCLUSION: The antidotal capability of rats' livers can be significantly improved after long-term consumption of TPs. There are differences in changes of drug-metabolizing enzymes between the sexes induced by TPs and normal condition. |
