In is shown that administration of sovol, a mixture of polychlorinated diphenyls, in a dose of 500 mg/kg (about 1:10 LD50) induces pronounced changes in the rat liver structure, in particular, fat accumulation and diminution of RNA lump number in hepatocyte cytoplasma, alteration of nuclei, decrease in the number of hepatocytes and binuclear cells in the visual field. Structural disorders in the liver are observed during a long period (up to 5 months) and, to a certain extent, depend on the composition of the lipid component of the ration. Certain differences are recorded in the character of the morphological changes in the liver after single and repeated injections of the agent. No distinct relationship is recorded between the manifestation of hepatocyte fat infiltration and other morphological changes in the liver, and the index of microsomal cytochrome P-450 induction during sovol action.

The harmful by-product of paracetamol is known as N-Acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine, (NAPQI). When paracetamol is given at therapeutic dosages or in excess, it undergoes Phase I metabolism in the liver via Cytochrome P-450 2E1 (CYP2E1), and then it produces NAPQI. Previous studies reported that a non-ionic surfactant known as Brij 35 (Polyoxyethylene lauryl ether) has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of CYP2E1 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp).

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease that manifests clinically in varying forms depending on the degree of enzyme deficiency. CAH is most commonly caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) due to mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. Whereas there is a spectrum of disease severity, 21OHD is generally categorized into 3 forms.

Terpenoids are widely distributed in nature and have various applications in healthcare products, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. Despite the significant potential that terpenoids possess, traditional production methods, such as plant extraction and chemical synthesis, face challenges in meeting current market demand. With the advancement of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, it becomes feasible to construct efficient microbial cell factories for large-scale production of terpenoids.

Fullerenols, a water-soluble polyhydroxy derivative of fullerene, hold promise in medical and materials science due to their unique properties. However, concerns about their potential embryotoxicity remain. Using a pregnancy mouse model and metabolomics analysis, our findings reveal that fullerenols exposure during pregnancy not only significantly reduced mice placental weight and villi thickness, but also altered the classes and concentrations of metabolites in the mouse placenta.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 plays a major role in drug metabolism. Its activity could be determined by non-invasive and cost-effective assays, such as breath analysis, for the personalised monitoring of drug response. For the first time, we identify an isotopically unlabelled CYP3A4 substrate, tolterodine that leads to the formation of a non-toxic volatile metabolite, acetone, which could potentially be applied to monitor CYP3A4 activity in humans.
