    Abstract

    This study indicates for the first time the presence of cytochrome P450 in the microsomes of Euglena grown in lactate medium and substantiates the use of Euglena as a hepatic cell model. Similar effects of ethanol on Euglena and on rat hepatic microsomes were demonstrated: (i) decrements in the quantities of FA per milligram of proteins; (ii) increases in the proportions of PE; (iii) decreases in the proportions of PC; and (iv) production of cytochrome P450, degraded in P420. The citrulline-malate reestablishes in the microsomes the phospholipid environment and the cytochrome P450 concentration. These findings illustrate that the complex acts on the lipid peroxidation via the changes in cytochrome P450 activity.
