Metabolism of Trichloroethylene in Liver Microsomes

The conversion of trichloroethylene to chloral hydrate was shown to take place in liver microsomes of rats, rabbits, and dogs, in a reaction requiring NADPH and oxygen. A stable, lyophilized preparation of microsomal and soluble fractions of liver homogenates in Tris buffer was used, from which a fr...

Zusammenfassung:The conversion of trichloroethylene to chloral hydrate was shown to take place in liver microsomes of rats, rabbits, and dogs, in a reaction requiring NADPH and oxygen. A stable, lyophilized preparation of microsomal and soluble fractions of liver homogenates in Tris buffer was used, from which a fraction could be obtained which resembled fresh microsomes in behavior. The effects of a number of activators and inhibitors of the enzyme system are described.
