Effects of a water-soluble extract of rosemary and its purified component rosmarinic acid on xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in rat liver
2001
The effects of a water-soluble extract (WSE) of rosemary and its purified antioxidant rosmarinic acid (RA) on xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XME) were studied in rat liver after dietary administration. The modulation of phase I enzymes such as cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A, 2B, 2E1, 3A, and phase II enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase (GST), quinone reductase (QR) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) was evaluated by measuring enzyme activities with specific substrates. Protein levels of CYPs and rGST A1/A2, A3/A5, M1, M2 and P1 were measured using antibodies in Western blots. Caffeic acid was also studied because it results from RA biotransformation in rat after oral administration. Ma…
Induction of cytochrome P450 and/or detoxication enzymes by various extracts or rosemary: description of specific patterns
2001
The ability of rosemary to modulate cytochrome P450 (CYP) and detoxication enzymes in rat liver was evaluated by comparing the effects of dried leaves and leaf extracts with different chemical compositions: essential oil (EO) containing monoterpenes, a dichloromethane extract (DCME) containing phenolic diterpenes and a water-soluble extract (WSE) containing phenolic compounds such as rosmarinic acid and flavonoids. Chemical analyses were done in order to characterize the composition of extracts. Male Wistar rats received the leaves or extracts of rosemary in their diet at 0.5% (w/w) for 2 weeks. The effects of such treatments were evaluated for CYP (1A, 2B, 2E1), glutathione S-transferase (…

Influence d’extraits naturels de romarin sur l’initiation de la cancérogenèse : recherche des mécanismes d’action
2001
Diplôme : Dr. d'Université; L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier l’influence d’extraits de romarin sur l’étape d’initiation de la cancérogenèse ainsi que les mécanismes mis en jeu. Plusieurs extraits de romarin sont utilisés, notammen tun extrait contenant des diterpènes phénoliques (ED) et un extrait contenant des acides-phénols et des flavonoïdes (EHS). Dans un modèle d’hépatocancérogenèse induite par le benzo(a)pyrène (BaP), les deux extraits (ED et EHS) diminuent significativement la formation de foyers prénéoplasiques. L’utilisation de fractions subcellulaires de foie de rats traités avec les extraits ED et EHS, dans le test de Armes, a notamment permis de mettre en évidence une fort…
