摘要:The effect of erythorbic acid (ErA) administration on activities of liver aniline hydroxylase, liver acid phosphatase, and serum alkaline phosphatase, and the content of liver cytochrome P-450 was studied to determine whether or not ErA would affect the availability of ascorbic acid (AsA) in normal and AsA-deficient guinea pigs. In experi-ment I, changes of the enzyme activities and liver cytochrome P-450 content in the guinea pigs administered AsA and/or ErA and sacrificed on days 4, 10, 16, and 30 were examined. Moreover, in experiment II, after 16 days of depletion of AsA, the guinea pigs were administered AsA and/or ErA. These animals were sacrificed on days 0, 4, and 20 of the repletion period, after which the activities of drug metabolic enzyme and phos-phatases and content of cytochrome P-450 during recovery were observed. The enzyme activities and cytochrome P-450 content of AsA-supplemented guinea pigs were similar to those of ErA-supplemented animals and also similar to those of both AsA and ErA-supplemented guinea pigs throughout the experimental period. During the repletion of the AsA-depleted guinea pigs, there were no significant differences in these enzyme activities and cytochrome P-450 content among the animals administered AsA and/or ErA. These results suggested that ErA adminis-tration may not affect the AsA availability in the guinea pigs.
