Effect of thyroid hormone on the levels of erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase isozymes and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in rabbits.

Levels of rabbit erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase B and C isozymes were determined in experimental hyperthyroidism using a quantitative immunologic technique. Levels of erythrocyte 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and protein binding iodine were simultaneously determined. Thyroxine and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine were administered to rabbits orally for 30 days. A significant decrease in carbonic anhydrase B type was observed after 30 days, although no significant change was observed in carbonic anhydrase C type. These findings suggest that the steady state level of carbonic anhydrase B type in red cells is affected by thyroid hormone more readily than that of carbonic anhydrase C type. The level of red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate increased markedly after 10 days of treatment, corresponding to the increase of protein binding iodine. The clinical or pathologic significances were discussed in relation to the changes in the levels of these isozymes and 2,3-diphosphglycerate in red cells.

Studies on the metabolism of d-limonene (p-mentha-1,8-diene). IV. Isolation and characterization of new metabolites and species differences in metabolism.

1. The main route of elimination of d-limonene administered orally was via the urine in animals and man, 75-95% of the administered radioactivity being excreted in the urine during 2-3 days. Faecal excretion accounted for less than 10% of the dose in animals during 2-3 days. 2. In addition to six metabolites, namely p-mentha-1,8-dien-10-ol (M-I), p-menth-1-ene-8,9-diol (M-II), perillic acid (M-III), perillic acid-8,9-diol (M-IV), p-mentha-1,8-dien-10-yl-beta-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (M-V) and 8-hydroxy-p-meth-1-en-9-yl-beta-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (M-VI) isolated from rabbit urine previously (Kodama et al., 1974), five new metabolites have been isolated from dog and rat urine, and which were characterized as 2-hydroxy-p-menth-8-en-7-oic acid (M-VII), perillylglycine (M-VIII), perillyl-beta-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (M-IX), p-mentha-1,8-dien-6-ol (M-X) and probably p-menth-1-ene-6,8,9-triol (M-XI). 3. The major metabolite of d-limonene in the urine was M-IV in rat and rabbit, M-IX in hamster, M-II in dog and M-VI in guinea pig and man.

Metabolism of 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl) quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (H-88). I. Species differences in metabolism.

1. Following oral administration of [14C] H-88 to rat, mouse, quinea-pig and hamster, 40-65% and 5-15% of radioactivity was excreted in urine and faeces respectively during 3 or 4 days. In rabbit, monkey and man, more than 80% of radioactivity was excreted in urine during 2 or 3 days, and faecal excretion was negligible. 2. Rabbit, rat or guinea-pig excreted non-labelled H-88 in urine as unchanged H-88 (M-I), 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione-3-acetic acid (M-II), H-88 glucuronide (M-III) and 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6-hydroxyguinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (M-IV). 3. The carboxylic acid (M-II) was the major metabolite of H-88 in rat, mouse, guinea-pig and hamster urine and faeces, while the major metabolite in urine of rabbit, monkey and man was H-88 glucuronide (M-III). The 6-hydroxy compound (M-IV) was a major metabolite only in guinea-pig.
