The induction of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes by chlornitrofen (CNP) and CNP-amino was studied in the liver of male rats and mice. CNP-amino increased the activities of 7-pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase (PROD) and 7-benzyloxyresorufin O-debenzylase (BROD) as CYP2B1-dependent monooxygenase 3.6- and 4.1-fold in rats. On the contrary, these enzyme activities in mice were induced by CNP rather than by CNP-amino. Furthermore, immunoblotting showed that the protein levels of CYP2B subfamily cytochrome P450 (P450) in liver microsomes of rats and mice were increased by CNP or CNP-amino. Phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes, UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UGT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) levels in mice were also significantly increased from 1.4 to 2.5-fold by CNP or CNP-amino. However, neither CNP nor CNP-amino affected UGT and GST in rats. These results suggest that CNP and or CNP-amino induce the P450 isoforms of CYP2B subfamily in the rat and mouse liver, and that the inducibility of drug-metabolizing enzyme by the compounds is different between rats and mice.

Growth hormone therapy (GHT) can improve growth velocity and final height, but can also accelerate the process of bone growth, which is related to structural bone modeling in both formation and resorption. This study evaluated the capacity of bone turnover markers to predict early growth response to one year of GHT in short stature children born small for gestational age (SGA). This study included 25 prepubertal children born SGA.

Context: Plasma C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) forms correlate with linear growth velocity in juveniles. In hyperthyroid children, plasma CNP products fall in parallel with height velocity and thyroid hormones (TH) as euthyroidism is restored. The effect of TH on CNP forms after completion of endochondral growth is unknown.

Objective: C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and thyroid hormone (TH) are essential for normal skeletal growth. Plasma CNP peptides correlate with growth velocity, but the relationship between thyroid status and CNP production is unknown. This study examined the impact of restoring normal TH levels on CNP and height velocity (HV) in children with acquired hypo- and hyperthyroidism.

The mutagenicity of chlornitrofen (CNP)-containing solutions has been reported to increase during anaerobic biodegradation. In the present study, the fate of this increased mutagenicity under subsequent aerobic and anaerobic incubation conditions was investigated using two Salmonella tester strains, YG 1024 (a frameshift-detecting strain) and YG 1029 (a base-pair-substitution-detecting strain). Mutagenicity for both YG 1024 and YG 1029 strains increased during nine-day anaerobic biodegradation.

The present study has examined expression and circulating levels of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) in the euryhaline bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas. Complementary DNA and deduced amino acid sequence for CNP in C. leucas were determined by RACE methods.
