CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Torino.
AperTO è l'archivio istituzionale Open Access destinato a raccogliere, rendere visibile e conservare la produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Torino.
EnglishThe involvement of CCl4 biotransformation mechanism in decreasing the Protein Kinase C activity has been analyzed in hepatocytes isolated from phenobarbital-pretreated rats. A significant inhibition (55%) and an almost total disappearance (87%) of the enzyme activity were observed at 15 min and at 30 min incubation with CCl4, respectively. Cell preincubation with Trolox or desferrioxamine allowed a marked whilst not complete protection of both cytosolic and particulate Protein Kinase C activity. These results show that the CCl4 reactive metabolites play a primary role in hepatocyte Protein Kinase C impairment and suggest that besides lipid peroxidation other mechanisms -possibly a derangement of Ca2+ homeostasis- may be involved in this process.
