Term
What percent of the blood volume is filtered at the glomerulus?

1% of codeine is converted to morphine via a dealkylation by cyt P450
Term
What are the reasons for wide variations in foreign compound metabolism by P450?
Definition
broad selectivity of the P450 active site, multiple forms of P450, enzyme induction, polymorphisms
Term
What are the different types of polymorphisms in cytochrome P450?

individual number
Term
What induces CYP1A and what does CYP1A metabolize?
Definition
induced by and metabolizes polycyclic hydrocarbons (found in cigarette smoke)
Term
What is the difference between CYP1A1 and CYP1A2?
Definition
1A1 is inducible and extrahepatic
1A2 is constitutively expressed only in the liver but also inducible
Term
Describe the polymorphism of CYP1A
Definition
expression and structural (primarily in CYP1A1
Term
What induces CYP1A2?
Definition
cigarette smoke, broccoli, cauliflour and caffeine
Term
What induces CYP1A1?
Definition
Ah-aryl hydrocarbon receptor induces it. Normally CYP1a is bound to heat shock protein 90. When bound to dioxin, it also binds to ARNT (nuclear transferase) that cuases more 1A1 to be made
Term
How can you detect CYP1A2 polymorphisms?
Definition
caffiene metabolism (3-demethylation product of paraxathine)
Term
What metabolizes caffiene?
Definition
CYP1A2
Term
T/F because CYP1A2 is expressed only in the liver it is associated only with liver cancer.
Definition
false; it is assocated with cancers at distal sites
Term
What CYP is hormonally regulated?
Definition
2A
Term
What cyp is necessary to prevent fetal gloucoma?
Definition
CYP1B1
Term
What induces CYP1B1 and what does it break down?
Definition
induced by AH receptor; breaks down retinoic and arachidonic acid (prevents fetal gloucoma)
Term
Describe the CYP 2A enzymes.
Definition
includes 2A6 (polymorphic) and 2A13, responsible for nicotine metabolism
