Caffeine demethylation measured by breath analysis in experimental liver injury in the rat

To assess the effects of experimental liver injury on caffeine metabolism, 1 μCi/kg b.w. of [3-methyl 14C]-caffeine (together with 5 mg/kg b.w. of the cold compound) was injected i.p. to four different experimental groups and respective controls of unanesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. Exhaled 14...

Zusammenfassung:To assess the effects of experimental liver injury on caffeine metabolism, 1 μCi/kg b.w. of [3-methyl 14C]-caffeine (together with 5 mg/kg b.w. of the cold compound) was injected i.p. to four different experimental groups and respective controls of unanesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. Exhaled 14CO 2 was completely collected during 4 h and peak exhalation rate and fraction of dose recovered were calculated. 1 3 hepatectomy affected 14CO 2 exhalation to a limited extent, decreasing solely peak exhalation rate ( p
