Microsomal oxidation is the type of biological oxidation catalyzed by special cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzyme group (superfamily) which takes place predominantly in hepatic microsomes, which are fragments of liver cells endoplasmatic membranes.

What causes high levels of Microsomal AB?

I just received my test results on Microsomal AB the results were 203 what does this mean You may have Hashimoto's but I would check with you doctor if you haven't discussed the results with him/her already.


What are the methods used to isolate and study microsomal fractions in cellular research?

Microsomal fractions in cellular research are isolated using techniques such as differential centrifugation and density gradient centrifugation. These methods involve spinning cell homogenates at different speeds to separate out the microsomes based on their size and density. Once isolated, the microsomal fractions can be studied using various biochemical and molecular techniques to understand their structure and function within the cell.

What is hepatic microsoal induction give examples?

Hepatic microsomal induction, you might mean, is as it is, induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes. These microsomal enzymes are found in the liver and are responsible for the metabolism of drugs that we take in. There are some drugs though, that can increase the activity of these enzymes. Some examples are: Dicoumarol Disulfiram Isoniazid Cimetidine Chloramphenicol Sulfonamides If these drugs are taken in along with another, the metabolism of the other drug will be decreased, resulting in an increased half life.


That drugs which stimulate metabolism of other drugs?

Phenobarbital or phenobarbitone. It is given to premature baby to stimulate the microsomal system of enzymes.


What is hepatic microsomal enzyme induction?

Hepatic microsomal enzyme induction or in other words the stimulation of the microsomal enzymes of the liver occur as a result of administration of certain drugs such as Phenobarbitone, Phenytoin or Carbamezapine. These drugs stimulate this enzyme system in the liver and accelerate the metabolism of other substances such as Coumarin anticoagulants that are administered to a person to prevent clotting tendency. In that case, the physician would consider increasing the dose of the Coumarin anticoagulants to achieve an optimum effect since the accelerated metabolism of these drugs will not produce the desired effect.


When a substance is undergoing oxidation does the oxidation number increase?

Yes, during oxidation, the oxidation number of the substance increases. This is because oxidation involves the loss of electrons, leading to an increase in the oxidation number.


Does phenobarbital inhibit bilirubin conjugation?

No, actually quite the opposite. Phenobarbital enhances conjugation of bilirubin in the liver by inducing microsomal enzymes, like UDP-glucuronyl transferase.


What is the oxidation nu?
