2022, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :Another benzene metabolic pathway is the reaction with glutathione (GSH) to form S-PMA (Nebert et al., 2002). In addition, the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes and liver microsomal enzymes are involved in toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes metabolism in the human body (Knecht et al., 2000; Nakajima et al., 1997). During the oxidation of BTEX in the body, glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) protect cells from superoxide toxicity and forms malondialdehyde (MDA) as a result of lipid peroxidation (Tualeka et al., 2020).
Diazepam influences urinary bioindicator of occupational toluene exposure
2016, Environmental Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :It is important to mention that CYP isoenzymes play a central role in the metabolism of drugs, environmental pollutants, and other xenobiotics (Hasler et al., 1999). According to Nakajima et al. (1997), in human liver microsomes, the formation of benzyl alcohol is mediated by CYP2E1, 2B6, 2C8, and 1A2 isoenzymes. Furthermore, CYP2C8 is involved in the formation of o- and p-C.
Hypoxia depresses CYP1A induction and enhances DNA damage, but has minimal effects on antioxidant responses in sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) larvae exposed to dispersed crude oil
2016, Aquatic ToxicologyCitation Excerpt :Included in this group is toluene, which as can be seen in the full analysis is present at equivalent or even higher levels in the WAF as compared to the CEWAF (Table S1). Metabolism of toluene into benzene alcohol is catalyzed by a suite of CYP mediated enzymes including CYP1A2 and CYP1A1 (Nakajima et al., 1997). Induction of CYP1A mRNA expression in response to CEWAFs containing high levels of anthracenes and toluene has been reported recently by Adeyemo et al. (2015).
Joint toxicity of alkoxyethanol mixtures: Contribution of in silico applications
2012, Regulatory Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Better insight into these interactions can be obtained by visualizing the scheme for toluene metabolism. The main metabolic pathway of toluene consists of its conversion to benzyl alcohol (catalyzed mainly by CYP2E1 enzymes), further to benzoic acid (catalyzed by alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases), and to the final product hippuric acid (Angerer et al., 1998; Nakajima and Wang, 1994; Nakajima et al., 1997). In fact, about 75–80% of inhaled toluene that is absorbed can be detected as its principal metabolite, hippuric acid, in urine (Löf et al., 1993; Tardif et al., 1998).
CYP2E1 phenotype in Mexican workers occupationally exposed to low levels of toluene
2012, Toxicology LettersCitation Excerpt :Another recent report in petrochemical workers (Piccoli et al., 2010) showed no significant differences in the 6-OH-CHZ/CHZ ratio between participants exposed to very low levels of benzene (one or two orders of magnitude below the current TLV) and controls. Benzene, however, has shown different properties on CYP2E1 activity as compared to toluene (Nakajima et al., 1997; González-Jasso et al., 2003). Our data showing a positive correlation between BMI and the 6-OH-CHZ/CHZ ratio in the E group suggest a possible synergism on CYP2E1 activity between exposure to solvents and physiological phenomena (Fig. 5) These results confirm those from a cluster of reports that have shown obesity as a crucial factor for CYP2E1 activity regulation (Lucas et al., 1999; Chtioui et al. 2007) and relate CYP2E1 activity with fatty acids metabolism (Lieber, 1997; Niwa et al., 2009).
