Abstract
Resveratrol has been proposed to prevent tumor growth and the different steps of carcinogenesis; nevertheless, these biological effects are sometimes discordant between different cell types. Several hypotheses and works have suggested that the metabolism of resveratrol could be at the origin of a different cellular response. We show here, using colorectal tumor cell lines, that the biological effects of RSV result mainly from its carriage by carriers of the superfamily of ABC transporter, i.e., P-gP, MRP, or BCRP. Using cell lines overexpressing these different transporters, we have been able to highlight the importance of P-gP in the response of cells to RSV. These results were confirmed by invalidating the gene coding for P-gP, which restored the sensitivity of colorectal cells resistant to the polyphenol. Subsequently, the status of P-glycoprotein expression is an important element to be taken into consideration in the cytotoxic activity of resveratrol in colorectal cancer cells.

Abstract
The olfactory epithelium is continuously exposed to exogenous chemicals, including odorants. During the past decade, the enzymes surrounding the olfactory receptors have been shown to make an important contribution to the process of olfaction. Mammalian xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P450, esterases and glutathione transferases (GSTs), have been shown to participate in odorant clearance from the olfactory receptor environment, consequently contributing to the maintenance of sensitivity toward odorants. GSTs have previously been shown to be involved in numerous physiological processes, including detoxification, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and amino acid catabolism. These enzymes ensure either the capture or the glutathione conjugation of a large number of ligands. Using a multi-technique approach (proteomic, immunocytochemistry and activity assays), our results indicate that GSTs play an important role in the rat olfactory process. First, proteomic analysis demonstrated the presence of different putative odorant metabolizing enzymes, including different GSTs, in the rat nasal mucus. Second, GST expression was investigated in situ in rat olfactory tissues using immunohistochemical methods. Third, the activity of the main GST (GSTM2) odorant was studied with in vitro experiments. Recombinant GSTM2 was used to screen a set of odorants and characterize the nature of its interaction with the odorants. Our results support a significant role of GSTs in the modulation of odorant availability for receptors in the peripheral olfactory process.

Abstract
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous key enzymes that catalyse the conjugation of glutathione to xenobiotic compounds in the detoxification process. GSTs have been proposed to play a dual role in the signal termination of insect chemodetection by modifying odorant and tasting molecules and by protecting the chemosensory system. Among the 40 GSTs identified in Drosophila melanogaster, the Delta and Epsilon groups are insect-specific. GSTs Delta and Epsilon may have evolved to serve in detoxification, and have been associated with insecticide resistance. Here, we report the heterologous expression and purification of the D. melanogaster GST Delta 2 (GSTD2). We investigated the capacity of GSTD2 to bind tasting molecules. Among them, we found that isothiocyanates (ITC), insecticidal compounds naturally present in cruciferous plant and perceived as bitter, are good substrates for GSTD2. The X-ray structure of GSTD2 was solved, showing the absence of the classical Ser catalytic residue, conserved in the Delta and Epsilon GSTs. Using molecular dynamics, the interaction of ITC with the GSTD2 three-dimensional structure is analysed and discussed. These findings allow us to consider a biological role for GSTD2 in chemoperception, considering GSTD2 expression in the chemosensory organs and the potential consequences of insect exposure to ITC.

Abstract
Abstract:Since its establishment, the Center for Preventive Medicine in Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy, France, performed specific studies on healthy humans, and its approach was very useful for defining reference values. Prevention should extend its interest to chronic diseases. The majority of important adult disorders are partially genetically determined. Genetic markers are also useful as exclusion or as partition criteria in the production of reference values. Results are presented that were obtained for apolipoproteins E, B and AIV, frequencies of these polymorphisms in the Lorraine population, and relationships between these polymorphisms and lipid metabolism-related parameters. Health checkup centers, in particular those involved in family screening, are well suited for reassembling many data concerning environmental factors: tobacco consumption, alimentation habits, or alcohol and drug consumption. Simultaneous determination of genetic markers could allow the determination of an individual’s susceptibility or resistance to developing a disease and to prepare a preventive action.

Abstract
Escherichia coli is an important experimental, medical and industrial cell factory for recombinant protein production. The inducible lac promoter is one of the most commonly used promoters for heterologous protein expression in E. coli. Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) is currently the most efficient molecular inducer for regulating this promoter’s transcriptional activity. However, limitations have been observed in large-scale and microplate production, including toxicity, cost and culture monitoring. Here, we report the novel SILEX (Self-InducibLe Expression) system, which is a convenient, cost-effective alternative that does not require cell density monitoring or IPTG induction. We demonstrate the broad utility of the presented self-inducible method for a panel of diverse proteins produced in large amounts. The SILEX system is compatible with all classical culture media and growth temperatures and allows protein expression modulation. Importantly, the SILEX system is proven to be efficient for protein expression screening on a microplate scale.

Abstract
Caffeine (1, 3, 7-trimethylxanthine), an alkaloid produced by plants, has antioxidant and insecticide properties that can affect metabolism and cognition. In vertebrates, the metabolites derived from caffeine have been identified, and their functions have been characterized. However, the metabolites of caffeine in insects remain unknown. Thus, using radiolabelled caffeine, we have identified some of the primary caffeine metabolites produced in the body of Drosophila melanogaster males, including theobromine, paraxanthine and theophylline. In contrast to mammals, theobromine was the predominant metabolite (paraxanthine in humans; theophylline in monkeys; 1, 3, 7-trimethyluric acid in rodents). A transcriptomic screen of Drosophila flies exposed to caffeine revealed the coordinated variation of a large set of genes that encode xenobiotic-metabolizing proteins, including several cytochromes P450s (CYPs) that were highly overexpressed. Flies treated with metyrapone—an inhibitor of CYP enzymes—showed dramatically decreased caffeine metabolism, indicating that CYPs are involved in this process. Using interference RNA genetic silencing, we measured the metabolic and transcriptomic effect of three candidate CYPs. Silencing of CYP6d5 completely abolished theobromine synthesis, whereas CYP6a8 and CYP12d1 silencing induced different consequences on metabolism and gene expression. Therefore, we characterized several metabolic products and some enzymes potentially involved in the degradation of caffeine. In conclusion, this pioneer approach to caffeine metabolism in insects opens novel perspectives for the investigation of the physiological effects of caffeine metabolites. It also indicates that caffeine could be used as a biomarker to evaluate CYP phenotypes in Drosophila and other insects.

Abstract
The human inducible heat shock protein 70 (hHsp70), which is involved in several major pathologies, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer, is a key molecular chaperone and contributes to the proper protein folding and maintenance of a large number of protein structures. Despite its role in disease, the current structural knowledge of hHsp70 is almost exclusively based on its Escherichia coli homolog, DnaK, even though these two proteins only share ~50 % amino acid identity. For the first time, we describe a complete heterologous production and purification strategy that allowed us to obtain a large amount of soluble, full-length, and non-tagged hHsp70. The protein displayed both an ATPase and a refolding activity when combined to the human Hsp40. Multi-angle light scattering and bio-layer interferometry analyses demonstrated the ability of hHsp70 to homodimerize. The role of the C-terminal part of hHsp70 was identified and confirmed by a study of a truncated version of hHsp70 that could neither dimerize nor present refolding activity.

Abstract
In insects, xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes were demonstrated to regulate pheromones inactivation, clearing them from the olfactory periphery and keeping receptors ready for stimulation renewal. Here, we investigate whether similar processes could occur in mammals, focusing on the pheromonal communication between female rabbits and their newborns. Lactating rabbits emit in their milk a volatile aldehyde, 2-methylbut-2-enal, that elicits searching-grasping in neonates; called the mammary pheromone (MP), it is critical for pups which are constrained to find nipples within the 5 min of daily nursing. For newborns, it is thus essential to remain sensitive to this odorant during the whole nursing period to display several actions of sucking. Here, we show that the MP is enzymatically conjugated to glutathione in newborn olfactory epithelium (OE), in accordance with the high mRNA expression of glutathione transferases evidenced by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. This activity in the nose is higher than in the liver and in OE of newborns compared with weanlings (no more responsive to the pheromone). Therefore, the results pinpoint the existence of a high level of MP-glutathione conjugation activity in the OE of young rabbits, especially in the developmental window where the perceptual sensitivity toward the MP is crucial for survival.

Abstract
A large set of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs), such as the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs), esterases and transferases, are highly expressed in mammalian olfactory mucosa (OM). These enzymes are known to catalyze the biotransformation of exogenous compounds to facilitate elimination. However, the functions of these enzymes in the olfactory epithelium are not clearly understood. In addition to protecting against inhaled toxic compounds, these enzymes could also metabolize odorant molecules, and thus modify their stimulating properties or inactivate them. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro biotransformation of odorant molecules in the rat OM and assessed the impact of this metabolism on peripheral olfactory responses. Rat OM was found to efficiently metabolize quinoline, coumarin and isoamyl acetate. Quinoline and coumarin are metabolized by CYPs whereas isoamyl acetate is hydrolyzed by carboxylesterases. Electro-olfactogram (EOG) recordings revealed that the hydroxylated metabolites derived from these odorants elicited lower olfactory response amplitudes than the parent molecules. We also observed that glucurono-conjugated derivatives induced no olfactory signal. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the local application of a CYP inhibitor on rat olfactory epithelium increased EOG responses elicited by quinoline and coumarin. Similarly, the application of a carboxylesterase inhibitor increased the EOG response elicited by isoamyl acetate. This increase in EOG amplitude provoked by XME inhibitors is likely due to enhanced olfactory sensory neuron activation in response to odorant accumulation. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that biotransformation of odorant molecules by enzymes localized to the olfactory mucosa may change the odorant’s stimulating properties and may facilitate the clearance of odorants to avoid receptor saturation.

Abstract
Transporters, such as multidrug resistance P-glycoproteins (MDR), multidrug resistance-related proteins (MRP) and organic anion transporters (OATs), are involved in xenobiotic metabolism, particularly the cellular uptake or efflux of xenobiotics (and endobiotics) or their metabolites. The olfactory epithelium is exposed to both inhaled xenobiotics and those coming from systemic circulation. This tissue has been described as a pathway for xenobiotics to the brain via olfactory perineural space. Thereby, olfactory transporters and xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, dedicated to the inactivation and the elimination of xenobiotics, have been involved in the toxicological protection of the brain, the olfactory epithelium itself and the whole body. These proteins could also have a role in the preservation of the olfactory sensitivity by inactivation and clearance of the excess of odorant molecules from the perireceptor space. The goal of the present study was to increase our understanding of the expression and the localization of transporters in this tissue. For most of the studied transporters, we observed an opposite mRNA expression pattern (RT-PCR) in the olfactory epithelium compared to the liver, which is considered to be the main metabolic organ. Olfactory epithelium mainly expressed efflux transporters (MRP, MDR). However, a similar pattern was observed between the olfactory epithelium and the olfactory bulb. We also demonstrate distinct cellular immunolocalization of the transporters in the olfactory epithelium. As previously reported, Mrp1 was mainly found in the supranuclear portions of supporting cells. In addition, Mrp3 and Mrp5 proteins, which were detected for the first time in olfactory epithelium, were localized to the olfactory neuron layer, while Mdr1 was localized to the capillary endothelium of lymphatic vessels in the subepithelial region. The pattern of expression and the distinct localization of the olfactory transporters showed in this work may highlight on their specific function in the whole olfactory epithelium.

Abstract
Several xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) have been identified in the olfactory mucosa (OM) of mammals. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of these enzymes have been little explored. In particular, information on the expression of the transcriptional factors in this tissue is quite limited. The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of five typical inducers, Aroclor 1254, 3-methylcholanthrene, dexamethasone, phenobarbital, and ethoxyquin, on the activities and mRNA expression of several XMEs in the OM and in the liver of rats. We also evaluated the effects of these treatments on the mRNA expression of transcription factors and transporters. On the whole, the intensities of the effects were lower in the OM than in the liver. Dexamethasone was found to be the most efficient treatment in the OM. Dexamethasone induced the transcription of several olfactory phase I, II, and III genes [such as cytochromes P450 2A3 and 3A9, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2A1, and multidrug resistance-related protein type 1] and increased UGT activities. We observed that dexamethasone up-regulated sulfotransferase 1C1 expression in the OM but down-regulated it in the liver. Aroclor and ethoxyquin induced the gene expression of CYP1A and quinone reductase, respectively, in the OM. The transcription factors aryl hydrocarbon receptor, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α, pregnane X receptor, and glucocorticoid receptor were detected in the OM, but no constitutive androstane receptor expression was observed. Dexamethasone and Aroclor enhanced olfactory Nrf2 expression. These results demonstrate that olfactory XME can be modulated by chemicals and that the mechanisms involved in the regulation of these enzymes are tissue-specific.

Abstract
This work aims to review uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) expression and activities along different neuronal structures involved in the common physiological process of olfaction: olfactory epithelium, olfactory bulb, and olfactory cortex. For the first time, using high-throughput in situ hybridization data generated by the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA), we present quantitative analysis of spatial distribution of UGT genes in the mouse brain. The olfactory area is a central nervous system site with the highest expression of UGTs, including UGT isoforms not previously identified in the brain. Since there is evidence of the transfer of xenobiotics to the brain through the nasal pathway, circumventing the blood-brain barrier, olfactory UGTs doubtlessly share the common function of detoxification, but they are also involved in the metabolism and turnover of exogenous or endogenous compounds critical for physiological olfactory processing in these tissues. The function of olfactory UGTs will be discussed with a special focus on their participation in the perireceptor events involved in the modulation of olfactory perception.

Abstract
In order to provide a global analysis of the effects of endocrine disruptors on the hormone cellular bioavailability, we combined 17beta-estradiol (E2) cellular flow studies with real-time PCR and Western blot expression measurements of genes involved in the hormone metabolism and excretion. Three endocrine disruptors commonly found in food were chosen for this study, which was conducted in the estrogen receptor (ER) negative hepatoblastoma HepG2 cell line: bisphenol A (BPA), genistein (GEN) and resveratrol (RES). We showed that 24 h after a single dose treatment with genistein, resveratrol or bisphenol A, the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters (the multidrug resistance or MDR, and the multidrug resistance associated proteins or MRP) uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) and/or sulfotransferases (ST) involved in 17beta-estradiol elimination process were significantly modulated and that 17beta-estradiol cellular flow was modified. Resveratrol induced MDR1 and MRP3 expressions, bisphenol A induced MRP2 and MRP3 expressions, and both enhanced 17beta-estradiol efflux. Genistein, on the other hand, inhibited ST1E1 and UGT1A1 expressions, and led to 17beta-estradiol cellular retention. Thus, we demonstrate that bisphenol A, genistein and resveratrol modulate 17beta-estradiol cellular bioavailability in HepG2 and that these modulations most probably involve regulations of 17beta-estradiol phase II and III metabolism proteins. Up to now, the estrogenicity of environmental estrogenic pollutants has been based on the property of these compounds to bind to ERs. Our results obtained with ER negative cells provide strong evidence for the existence of ER-independent pathways leading to endocrine disruption.

Abstract
Recent observations have highlighted adipogenesis alterations under exposure to several xenoestrogens at critical stages, and pointed at their possible involvement in the pathogenesis of obesity. However, it remains unclear whether these effects are mediated by classical estrogen receptor (ER) binding and subsequent transcriptional modulation. The aim of this study was to determine the (anti-)adipogenic impact of apigenin, bisphenol A, genistein and 17beta-estradiol at the onset of adipose cell maturation, and to correlate it to their estrogenic potential. In steroid-free conditions, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were induced to differentiate in the presence of xenoestrogens for 2 days. DNA and triglyceride levels, leptin secretion and expression of Pref-1, C/EBPbeta, PPARgamma2, FAS, leptin and ERs were measured on days 0, 3 and 8 of differentiation. Genistein potently blocked mitotic clonal expansion and all markers of maturation. Bisphenol A and estradiol did not modify triglyceride accumulation but increased the expression of differentiation genes. Apigenin caused a weak but reversible delay in adipogenesis although it unexpectedly enhanced leptin synthesis. However, the expression of steroid hormone receptors was not associated with these differential effects. In conclusion, we could not put a clear estrogen-dependent mechanism forward, but early exposure to xenoestrogens persistently disrupted adipocyte gene expression and leptin synthesis.

Abstract
Pleural fibrosis is a misunderstood disorder which can cause severe restrictive lung disease with high morbidity and even mortality. The condition can develop in response to a large variety of diseases and tissue injury, among them infectious disease, asbestos, drugs, and radiation therapy. There is no efficient treatment to reverse established pleural fibrosis. TGF-beta1 is suspected, even if not proven, as a key cytokine in this process. In this study, we used adenoviral gene transfer of TGF-beta1 to the pleural mesothelium in rats. We show that local and transient TGF-beta1 overexpression induces homogenous, prolonged, and progressive pleural fibrosis without pleurodesis, associated with severe impairment of pulmonary function. We further demonstrate that pleural fibrosis can expand into the lung parenchyma from the visceral layer, but not into the muscle from the parietal layer. We provide evidence that matrix accumulation and fibrosis within the parenchyma evolved through a process involving "mesothelial-fibroblastoid transformation" and suggest that the pleural mesothelial cell may be an important player involved in the development of the subpleural distribution pattern known to be a hallmark of pulmonary fibrosis. This new model of pleural fibrosis will allow us to better understand the mechanisms of progressive fibrogenesis, and to explore novel antifibrotic therapies in the pleural cavity.

The use of soy isoflavones is a potential alternative to hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal bone-loss prevention. Nevertheless, phytoestrogens can target other organs and may disrupt cell proliferation, or could modify endogenous steroid hormone metabolism. These mechanisms could be linked to an increased risk of developing cancer. We therefore studied the possible side effects of such treatments in an experimental model of menopause. Forty adult female Wistar rats were ovariectomized and fed with a genistein-, daidzein- or equol-supplemented diet at bone-sparing levels (10 mg/kg BW/day) for 3 months. The estrogenic effects were assessed by histological and molecular analyses on reproductive organs. The impact on the oxidative metabolism of estradiol and on associated cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities was evaluated in liver microsomes. The relative wet weights of both the uterus and the vagina were increased in the equol group, but no significant changes in proliferating cell nuclear antigen or hormone receptor mRNA expression were noticed. In contrast, genistein and daidzein did not induce uterotrophy but caused an overexpression of estrogen receptor alpha mRNA which could correspond to a long-lasting effect of physiological concentrations of estrogens. The hepatic metabolism of estradiol was influenced by daidzein which increased the synthesis of putative mutagenic derivatives. At the same time, genistein favored estrogen 2-hydroxylation, and equol decreased 4-hydroxyestrogen production. Surprisingly, no significant alteration in hepatic CYP activities was detected. Taken together, these results demonstrate that isoflavonoid-based bone-sparing treatments are able to cause side effects on other estrogen-sensitive target organs when given in the long-term.

Abstract
trans-Resveratrol is a polyphenol present in several plant species. Its chemopreventive properties against several diseases have been largely documented. To validate a model for the study of the factors influencing its biological fate at the hepatic level, the metabolism and the efflux of resveratrol were studied in the human hepatoblastoma cell line, HepG2. Comparative high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of cell culture media before and after deconjugation showed that resveratrol was rapidly conjugated; at the concentration of 10 microM, it was entirely metabolized at 8 h of incubation. Two main resveratrol metabolites, monosulfate and disulfate, were identified by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry, thanks to their quasi-molecular ion and their characteristic fragmentation. To correlate with the auto-induction of resveratrol metabolism evidenced in HepG2 cells after a pretreatment for 48 h with 10 microM resveratrol, the inducibility of phase II enzymes by resveratrol was studied by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. Observed, in particular, were an increase in mRNA expression levels of three metabolizing enzymes, two isoforms of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, UGT1A1 and UGT2B7 (5-fold increased), and a sulfotransferase, ST1E1, in cells pretreated for 24 h with 10 microM resveratrol. These results were correlated with an increase in protein expression, especially after 48 h of treatment. On the other hand, the intracellular resveratrol retention in cells treated with MK571 (3-[[3-[2-(7-chloroquinolin-2-yl)vinyl]phenyl]-(2-dimethylcarbamoylethylsulfanyl)methylsulfanyl] propionic acid), a multidrug resistance-associated protein inhibitor, strongly suggests the involvement of this ABC transporter family in the efflux of resveratrol conjugates from human liver.

Abstract
Nasal administration of a drug ensures therapeutic action by rapid systemic absorption and/or the entry of some molecules into the brain through different routes. Many recent studies have pointed out the presence of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in rat olfactory mucosa (OM). Nevertheless, very little is known about the precise identity of isoforms of cytochrome P450 (P450)-dependent monooxygenases (P450) and their metabolic function in this tissue. Therefore, we evaluated mRNA expression of 19 P450 isoforms by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and measured their microsomal activity toward six model substrates. For purposes of comparison, studies were conducted on OM and the liver. Specific activities toward phenacetin, chlorzoxazone, and dextromethorphan are higher in OM than in the liver; those toward lauric acid and testosterone are similar in both tissues, and that toward tolbutamide is much lower in OM. There are considerable differences between the two tissues with regard to mRNA expression of P450 isoforms. Some isoforms are expressed in OM but not in the liver (CYP1A1, 2G1, 2B21, and 4B1), whereas mRNA of others (CYP2C6, 2C11, 2D2, 3A1, 3A2, and 4A1) is present only in hepatic tissue. Although expression of CYP1A2, 2A1, 2A3, 2B2, 2D1, 2D4, 2E1, 2J4, and 3A9 is noticed in both tissues, there are a number of quantitative differences. On the whole, our results strongly suggest that CYP1A1, 1A2, 2A3, 2E1, 2G1, and 3A9 are among the main functional isoforms present in OM, at least regarding activities toward the six tested substrates. The implication of olfactory P450-dependent monooxygenases in toxicology, pharmacology, and physiology should be further investigated.

Abstract
Triiodothyronine (T3) and triiodothyroacetic acid (TA3) are thyroid compounds that similarly protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) against oxidation induced by the free radical generator 2,2'-azobis-[2-amidinopropane] dihydrochloride (AAPH). However, TA3 is more antioxidant than T3 on LDL oxidation induced by copper ions (Cu2+), suggesting that these compounds act by different mechanisms. Here we measured conjugated diene production kinetics during in vitro human LDL (50 mg LDL-protein per l) oxidation induced by various Cu2+ (0.5-4 microM) or AAPH (0.25-2 mM) concentrations in the presence of T3, TA3, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (a free radical scavenger) or ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) (a metal chelator). From the kinetics were estimated: length of the lag phase (Tlag), maximum velocity of conjugated diene production (Vmax), and maximum amount of generated dienes (Dmax). Thyroid compound effects on these oxidation parameters were compared to those of the controls BHT and EDTA. In addition we measured by atomic absorption spectrometry copper remaining in LDL after a 30 min incubation of LDL with Cu2+ and the compounds followed by extensive dialysis, i.e. copper bound to LDL. As expected, LDL-copper was decreased by EDTA in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas it was not affected by BHT. T3 increased LDL-copper whereas TA3 slightly decreased it. The whole data suggest that T3 and TA3 are free radical scavengers that also differently disturb LDL-copper binding, an essential step for LDL lipid peroxidation. The most likely mechanisms are that T3 induces new copper binding sites inside the LDL particle, increasing the LDL-copper amount but in a redox-inactive form, whereas TA3 blocks some redox-active copper binding sites highly implicated in the initiation and the propagation of lipid peroxidation. Alternatively, we also found that a little amount of copper is tightly bound in LDL, which may be essential for the propagation of lipid peroxidation induced by free radical generators.

Abstract
Nilutamide is a pneumotoxic and hepatotoxic nitroaromatic (R-NO2) antiandrogen used in the treatment of prostate carcinoma in man. Previously, we established that in the rat lung, the drug is metabolized into the corresponding hydroxylamine (R-NHOH) and amine (R-NH2) derivatives. These results evidenced a cytosolic oxygen-sensitive (type II) nitroreductase activity in lung. In the present studies, we extended the characterization of nilutamide metabolism in liver, brain, kidney, heart, blood, intestine (small, cecum, and large, and their respective luminal contents) of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Subcellular fractions for all tissues (except blood) examined (postmitochondrial, cytosolic, and microsomal) were prepared by differential ultracentrifugation. Blood and intestinal contents were sonicated before investigation. Incubations were run in the presence or absence of O2 to assess type I and II nitroreductase activities. Organic extracts were analyzed by HPLC methods and results were expressed as pmoles of R-NH2 formed per milligram protein per minute. Four distinct nitroreductive activities were evidenced. Cytosolic and microsomal type II nitroreductase activities were detected in all tissue samples studied. Type I NR activity was not observed in any of the cytosols, but was detected in the small intestine, lung, kidney, and liver microsomes. Nilutamide was also reduced in the intestinal lumen, possibly by a bacterial type I nitroreductase. Highest activities were observed in cytosols and were oxygen sensitive. These results evidence and characterize previously unknown nitroreductive activities toward nilutamide in rat tissues that might provide some explanation to the side effects of nilutamide and other nitroaromatic compounds observed in human therapeutics.

Abstract
Tresperimus (Cellimis), a new immunosuppressive agent, is mainly eliminated in the rat through metabolism, in which the oxidative deamination of the primary amine of the drug plays a major role. We have previously demonstrated in vivo the significant involvement of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) in this reaction. Rat aorta, a tissue with one of the highest specific SSAO activities, was tested as a new in vitro model to elucidate tresperimus metabolism, using a combination of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. The metabolites resulting from the main metabolic pathway of the drug were formed in rat aorta homogenates. The use of various SSAO, lysyl oxidase and monoamine oxidase inhibitors confirmed that SSAO is predominantly involved in the main site of tresperimus metabolism but also in every metabolic pathway of the drug, including deamination of tresperimus metabolites M3 (desaminopropyl derivative of tresperimus) and M6 (guanidinohexylamine). A microsomal fraction of the rat aorta was used to characterize tresperimus deamination. The moderate affinity of membrane-bound SSAO for tresperimus, with a Km value of 66 microM, was counterbalanced by a catalytic efficiency superior to that of certain physiological substrates of SSAO, such as methylamine. The rat aorta provided an interesting model with which to study tresperimus metabolism, highlighting the important role that SSAO could play as a phase I oxidative enzyme in the metabolism of certain exogenous amines at the vascular level.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the glucuronidation of a series of odorant molecules by homogenates prepared either with rat olfactory mucosa, olfactory bulb or brain. Most of the odorant molecules tested were efficiently conjugated by olfactory mucosa, whereas olfactory bulb and brain homogenates displayed lower activities and glucuronidated only a few molecules. Important age-related changes in glucuronidation efficiency were observed in olfactory mucosa and bulb. Therefore, we studied changes in expression of two UDP-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms, UGT1A6 and UGT2A1, in 1-day, 1- and 2-week-, 3-, 12- and 24-month-old rats. UGT1A6 was expressed at the same transcriptional level in the olfactory mucosa, bulb and brain, throughout the life period studied. UGT2A1 mRNA was expressed in both olfactory mucosa and olfactory bulb, in accordance with previous results [Mol. Brain Res. 90 (2001) 83], but UGT2A1 transcriptional level was 400-4000 times higher than that of UGT1A6. Moreover, age-dependent variations in UGT2A1 mRNA expression were observed. As it has been suggested that drug metabolizing enzymes could participate in olfactory function, mitral cell electrical activity was recorded during exposure to different odorant molecules in young, adult and old animals. Age-related changes in the amplitude of response after stimulation with several odorant molecules were observed, and the highest responses were obtained with molecules that were not efficiently glucuronidated by olfactory mucosa. In conclusion, the present work presents new evidence of the involvement of UGT activity in some steps of the olfactory process.

Abstract
Tresperimus (Cellimis), a new immunosuppressive agent is mainly eliminated through an extensive nonhepatic metabolism, in which the oxidative deamination of the primary amine of the drug takes a preponderant part. We have previously demonstrated the ability of human plasma semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) to catalyze this reaction. Therefore, the suitability of human umbilical artery, a tissue combining a high SSAO activity with monoamine oxidase activity, to study tresperimus metabolism was tested, and the kinetic behavior of tissue-bound SSAO was compared with that of plasma soluble SSAO. All the oxidized metabolites resulting from the deamination of tresperimus and of two other metabolites, desaminopropyl derivatives of tresperimus and guanidinohexylamine, were formed in vascular homogenates. Chemical inhibition experiments demonstrated the major involvement of SSAO in the metabolism of these three compounds at physiologically relevant concentrations. The microsomal fraction was used to characterize tresperimus deamination. Tissue-bound and soluble SSAO exhibited similar K(m) values for the drug and K(I) values of tresperimus toward benzylamine metabolism, a classical SSAO substrate. The kinetic behavior of both enzymes seemed to argue in favor of a same catalytic entity. Human umbilical artery constituted a relevant in vitro model to demonstrate the predominant role of SSAO in tresperimus metabolism. Our results suggest that the possible role of SSAO as Phase I oxidative enzymes has to be considered in metabolism studies for drugs encompassing primary amine.

Abstract
We studied the influence of thyroid hormones and vitamin A status on the regulation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) expression and the glucuronidation of thyroid hormones by UGTs. For this, we used an original model of rats fed with different vitamin A diets and implanted subcutaneously by osmotic minipumps delivering vehicle or thyroid hormones, which permitted the control of plasma thyroid hormone concentrations. The activity and expression of family 1 UGTs are correlated and were significantly modified by both thyroid status and amounts of retinol in the diet. Dietary vitamin A did not perturbe the UGT1A expression in thyroidectomized animals. Thyroid hormones and dietary vitamin A did not affect the activity and expression of family 2 UGTs. We conclude that thyroid hormones and vitamin A are co-regulator of the UGT1 family expression, without affecting the UGT2 family; by modifying activity and expression of the bilirubin UOT isoform, a member of UGT1 family, thyroid hormone reduced the glucuronidation of T4 and rT3.

Abstract
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 (GST), NAD(P)H: quinone reductase (QR) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activities and on protein levels (immunoblot analyses). Expression of specific UGT isoforms (mRNA semi-quantification by RT-PCR) was measured. Our study reports that EO selectively induced CYP, particularly CYP2B. WSE enhanced both CYP and detoxication enzymes. DCME acted as a monofunctional inducer, inducing GST, QR and UGT, in particular UGT1A6. Considering the specific pattern of induction obtained with DCME and WSE treatment, it should be relevant to evaluate the chemopreventive potency of these extracts on carcinogenesis in animal models.

Abstract
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) form a multigenic family of enzymes involved in the biotransformation and elimination of numerous endo- and xenobiotic compounds. Beside the diverse UGT isoforms present in the liver as well as in other tissues, the UGT2A1 isoform, also called olfactory UGT, was initially thought to be expressed in the nasal epithelium only. In this work, we demonstrate the UGT2A1 mRNA expression in the olfactory bulb, using in situ hybridization and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques. Within the epithelium, UGT2A1 mRNA is mainly found in the sustentacular cells and to a lesser extent in Bowman's gland cells. Moreover, in situ hybrization staining reveals UGT2A1 mRNA expression in the olfactory sensory neuron nuclei. Neuronal localization of UGT2A1 mRNA within the olfactory bulb is mainly found in the deeper granular cells. The development of the quantitative multistandard RT-PCR method firstly required characterization of the mouse Ugt2A1 cDNA by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR. UGT2A1 mRNA levels appear quantitatively six-fold lower in the olfactory bulb than in the epithelium, in both the rat and mouse. The expression of UGT2A1 in the olfactory bulb, which directly connects the nasal epithelium to the brain, emphasizes the potential role of this enzyme in the protection of the brain against airborne hazardous chemicals.

Abstract
It was reported that thyroid hormones decreased Cu(2+)-induced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in vitro. Here, we investigated free radical scavenging capacities of thyroid hormones (3,5,3'-tri-iodo-L-thyronine (T(3)), thyroxine (T(4)) and 3,3',5'-tri-iodo-L-thyronine (rT(3))) and structural analogues (L-thyronine (T(0)), 3,5,3'tri-iodothyroacetic acid (TA(3)) and 3,5,3',5'-tetra-iodothyroacetic acid (TA(4))), using three different models of free radical generation. T(0), T(3) and TA(3) slowed down production of conjugated diene and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances during LDL oxidation by 2,2'-azobis-[2-amidinopropane] (water-soluble), whereas rT(3), T(4) and TA(4) had practically no effect. In this system, T(0) was the more active compound. Using a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (lipid-soluble) test, all compounds also revealed free radical scavenging capacities, but rT(3), T(4) and TA(4) were more active than T(0), T(3) and TA(3). T(3) was able to scavenge superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals generated in an aqueous phase by a xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, as measured by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. It may be concluded that: (1) thyroid hormones and analogues with a 4'-hydroxy diphenylether structure have free radical scavenging capacities, (2) this property is influenced by the number of iodines on the phenolic ring, and (3) thyroid hormone scavenging capacity should not be the only mechanism explaining their protective effect on Cu(2+)-induced LDL oxidation. The physiological significance of the findings is discussed.

Two metabolic pathways were identified at each side of the molecule with two deamination reactions on the spermidine moiety and hydrolysis of the amide bond leading to the liberation of guanidinohexylamine. As the major metabolic pathway of the drug seemed to be the oxidative deamination, the capacity of different amine oxidases to metabolize tresperimus was then tested using in vivo experiments in rat and in vitro studies in rat and human plasma. The increase of tresperimus plasma levels induced by the administration of hydralazine, an irreversible in vivo inhibitor of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), reflected the major involvement of this enzyme in tresperimus metabolism. This result was confirmed in vitro in rat and human plasma by the use of semicarbazide, a specific SSAO inhibitor. As opposed to rat plasma, human plasma may be an interesting in vitro model to study the metabolism of a drug extensively metabolized by SSAO such as tresperimus. Indeed, SSAO activity was significantly higher in human plasma than in rat plasma. The second metabolic pathway of the drug, which only occurred in rat plasma, appeared thus as the major route of tresperimus metabolism in this biological matrix.

Abstract
The uridine (5'-)diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) are involved in the phase II of various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. They are responsible for glucuronidation of many substrates, especially including bilirubin (UGT1A1) and phenolic compounds (UGT1A6). We previously showed that the expression of both isoforms is regulated at the transcriptional level by thyroid hormone in rat liver. In this present study, effects of vitamin A dietary intake (0, 1.72, 69 microg retinol acetate/g food) on the regulation of UGT1A1 and UGT1A6 activity and expression by 3,5,3' triiodo-l-thyronine (l-T3) were examined in the same organ. Activities were determined toward bilirubin and 4-nitrophenol. UGT mRNA were analysed by reverse transcription and amplification methods (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) and quantified by capillary electrophoresis. In rats fed a vitamin A-balanced diet, a single injection of l-T3 (500 microg/kg body weight) increased UGT1A6 mRNA expression whereas this hormone decreased UGT1A1 mRNA expression. In addition we observed that the specific effect of l-T3 on UGT1A1 and UGT1A6 was reduced in animals receiving a vitamin A-enriched diet and disappeared in those fed a vitamin A-free diet. The modulations observed in mRNA expression are concomitant with those found for UGT activities. Our results demonstrate for the first time the existence of a strong interaction between vitamin A and thyroid hormone on the regulation of genes encoding cellular detoxification enzymes, in this case the UGT.

Abstract
Segregation analysis using a regressive model with age- and sex-dependent effects was applied to family data of weight, fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) to investigate the major gene hypothesis. The sample consisted of 220 nuclear families from the 'Stanislas Cohort' who volunteered for a free health examination (n = 913). FM and FFM were assessed by bioelectrical impedance. The data were adjusted for height2 and height prior to analysis. The spouse, father-offspring, mother-offspring and sib-sib correlations were: 0.16, 0.18, 0.25 and 0.32 for weight; 0.13, 0.20, 0.23 and 0.28 for FM; 0.18, 0.16, 0.29 and 0.41 for FFM. For the three phenotypes, models specifying a major gene with age- and sex-dependent effects and residual family correlations was better supported than models including only family correlations. For weight, the most parsimonious genetic model was a codominant model with a sex-dependent effect in parents and an age-increasing effect in offspring. For FM, the most parsimonious model was also a codominant model with sex-dependent effects in parents indicating higher effects in women than in men. For FFM, the most parsimonious model was a recessive model with no significant age or sex interaction, although the age interactions paralleled those observed on weight in offspring. For weight and FM, mendelian transmission was rejected. For FFM, the Mendelian and the environmental hypotheses were nearly equally supported and none was rejected when compared to general transmission. Then, evidence for a single major gene could not be inferred for any of the traits. This does not preclude the existence of several genes acting in a more complex way. However, our findings emphasize that weight is a composite phenotype reflecting different components which evolve in distinct ways during life span. For this reason, FM should be highly preferred to weight or BMI for the research of susceptibility genes to obesity.

Abstract
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1) catalyzes the glucuronidation of bilirubin in liver. Among all UGT isoforms identified to date, it is the only relevant bilirubin-glucuronidating enzyme in human. Because glucuronoconjugation is the major route of bilirubin elimination, any genetic alteration that affects bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase activity may result in a more or less severe hyperbilirubinemia. In this study, we report the cloning and characterization of the transcriptional regulation of the mouse UGT1A1 gene. Primary-structure analysis of the mouse Thymidine Adevice promoter revealed marked differences with its human homolog. First, the mouse promoter lacks the highly polymorphic thymidine/adenine repeat occurring in the human promoter, which has been associated with some forms of hyperbilirubinemia. Second, an L1 transposon element, which is absent in the human promoter, is found 480 bp upstream of the transcription start site in mouse. Using the electromobility shift and DNase I footprinting experiments, we have identified a hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-binding site in the mouse UGT1A1 promoter that confers responsiveness to both factors HNF1alpha and HNF1beta in HEK293 cells. Furthermore, we show that this element, which is conserved in the human promoter, also confers strong HNF1 responsiveness to the human UGT1A1 gene. Together, these results provide evidence for a major regulatory function of this liver-enriched transcription factor in UGT1A1 activity in both rodents and human.

Abstract
We studied the effect of different thyroid compounds [(I2, monoiodo-L-tyrosine (MIT), diiodo-L-tyrosine (DIT), L-thyronine (T0), 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine (T2), 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3), 3,3',5'-triiodo-L-thyronine (rT3), 3,5,3',5'-tetraiodo-L-thyronine (T4), 3,5-diiodothyroacetic acid (TA2), 3,5,3'-triiodothyroacetic acid (TA3) and 3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyroacetic acid (TA4)] or thyromimetics [(3,5-dimethyl-3'-isopropyl-L-thyronine (DIMIT) and 3,5-diiodo-3'-isopropyl-thyroacetic acid (IpTA2)] on in vitro copper-induced oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Human native LDL (0.05 g protein/L) oxidation was induced by 2.5 micromol/L of CuCl2. Conjugated dienes were measured spectrophotometrically for up to 10 hr. The length of the lag phase (Tlag), maximum velocity of the reaction (Vmax) and the maximum amount of generated dienes were obtained from kinetic data. T3 increased Tlag and decreased Vmax with a dependence upon concentration (0 to 3 micromol/L). There was no difference between the Dmax obtained with Cu2+ alone or in the presence of the various compounds (1 micromol/L). I2, MIT and DIT did not modify any parameter of the oxidation kinetic. T0 and T2 had the same antioxidant efficiency as T3, whereas T4 only decreased Vmax. rT3 increased Tlag less than did T3, whereas DIMIT was the thyronine that had the most important effect. TA2 and TA, were the most efficient antioxidant compounds. TA4 decreased Tlag less than TA3 did, whereas IpTA2 had an effect weaker than that of the physiological acetic derivatives. The data suggest that thyroid hormones and derivatives have LDL-antioxidant properties, their importance being related to their 4'-hydroxy diphenyl ether structure and depending upon the nature and the position of substituents in this structure.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the association between smoking, food consumption, and antioxidant vitamin intake and plasma indexes of oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses in French adults. Food and nutrient intakes of 459 healthy men aged 23-57 y were estimated by the diet history method and analyzed by smoking status. Plasma alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, and carotenoids were measured as antioxidants and malondialdehyde, protein Schiff bases, and autoantibodies against malondialdehyde-protein adducts as oxidative stress indexes. Smokers ate less fruit and vegetables than nonsmokers, leading to lower vitamin E, vitamin C, and carotene intakes, even after adjustment for age, education, and marital status. Unlike vitamin E, plasma ascorbic acid and beta-carotene concentrations were reduced in smokers compared with nonsmokers and were inversely related to cigarette consumption. This difference remained significant after adjustment for alcohol and dietary intakes. Among the measured oxidative stress indexes, only Schiff base concentration was positively related to the number of cigarettes smoked. In our sample of French men, smoking had an adverse effect on antioxidant status; vitamin intakes were reduced in smokers and plasma antioxidant indexes were altered independently of dietary intakes. As in other countries, in France smokers require particular attention in terms of public health intervention.

Abstract
To study whether tobacco use was associated with oxidative phenomena affecting lipoproteins, we estimated susceptibility of LDL and VLDL to an in vitro copper-mediated oxidation, and measured serum autoantibody titers against oxidized LDL in 45 middle-age healthy nonsmokers, 35 smokers and 37 ex-smokers of both sexes, taking into account the detailed lipid composition of the lipoproteins. VLDL from female smokers had higher triglyceride, phospholipid, apolipoprotein E and alpha-tocopherol content and showed a higher rate of copper-induced oxidation in comparison with those from nonsmokers (P < or = 0.05) whereas the relative composition of these particles in saturated, mono- or poly-unsaturated fatty acids was not modified by tobacco consumption. After adjustment for triglyceride content, no statistically significant difference in oxidation rate was observed. Lipid, alpha-tocopherol and protein composition of LDL did not appear to be influenced by smoking; in accordance with these observations, no difference in indices of in vitro oxidizability of LDL was noticed between the different groups. Autoantibody titers against oxLDL were similar in smokers and nonsmokers. We conclude that, in supposed healthy individuals, smoking does not seem to be associated with notable variations in composition of VLDL and LDL or with an increase of oxidizability of these atherogenic lipoproteins.

Abstract
This study demonstrates that the expression of the phenol UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 gene (UGT1A1) is regulated at the transcriptional level by thyroid hormone in rat liver. Following 3,5, 3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) stimulation in vivo, there is a gradual increase in the amount of UGT1A1 mRNA with maximum levels reached 24 h after treatment. In comparison, induction with the specific inducer, 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC), results in maximal levels of UGT1A1 mRNA after 8 h of treatment. In primary hepatocyte cultures, the stimulatory effect of both T3 and 3-MC is also observed. This induction is suppressed by the RNA synthesis inhibitor actinomycin D, indicating that neither inducer acts at the level of mRNA stabilization. Indeed, nuclear run-on assays show a 3-fold increase in UGT1A1 transcription after T3 treatment and a 6-fold increase after 3-MC stimulation. This transcriptional induction by T3 is prevented by cycloheximide in primary hepatocyte cultures, while 3-MC stimulation is only partially affected after prolonged treatment with the protein synthesis inhibitor. Together, these data provide evidence for a transcriptional control of UGT1A1 synthesis and indicate that T3 and 3-MC use different activation mechanisms. Stimulation of the UGT1A1 gene by T3 requires de novo protein synthesis, while 3-MC-dependent activation is the result of a direct action of the compound, most likely via the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor complex.

Abstract
The study was designed to compare the effects of 3,5,3' triiodo-L-thyronine (L-T3) on the levels of hepatic mRNAs encoding two UDP-glucuronosyltransferase bilirubin isoforms (UGT1*1 and UGT1*0) in rats, by reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The administration of L-T3 decreased the UGT1*O mRNA by 2.2-fold and that of UGT1*1 by only 1.4-fold. In contrast, thyroidectomy increased the UGT1*O mRNA level by twofold but did not change that of the UGT1*1 isoform significantly. Interestingly, treatment with a known inducer of UGT bilirubin, ciprofibrate, induced the hepatic mRNA levels encoding for the UGT1*0 isoform by 3.5-fold and for the UGT1*1 isoform by only twofold. The results indicate for the first time that, although UGT1*1 mRNA is indeed a major transcript, its level is weakly affected by these compounds. In contrast, the minor UGT1*0 form is much more sensitive both to the action of this drug and to changes in thyroid status. The data support the notion that the various members of exon1 of the UGT1 locus have their own individual regulatory region.

Abstract
The effects of alcohol consumption on serum concentrations of apolipoproteins (apo) A-I, C-III, B, and E and of lipoproteins (Lp) A-I, A-I:A-II, C-III, C-III:B, and (a) were studied in 132 healthy subjects, including 55 low drinkers of alcohol (<20 g/day), 36 moderate drinkers (20-50 g/day), and 41 heavy drinkers (>50 g/day), and in 97 hospitalized alcoholic patients (> 100 g/day) without severe liver disease (especially functional insufficiency), before and after 21 days of withdrawal treatment. Serum concentrations of apo A-I, LpA-I, LpA-I:A-II, apo C-III, and LpC-III significantly (P </= 0.01) increased with alcohol intake (mean +/- SE in low drinkers vs in alcoholics)--1.45 +/- 0.03 vs 1.78 +/- 0.05 g/L; 0.45 +/- 0.02 vs 0.56 +/- 0.02 g/L; 0.99 +/- 0.02 vs 1.22 +/- 0.04 g/L; 27.6 +/- 1.5 vs 39.7 +/- 1.7 mg/L; and 8.4 +/- 0.9 vs 24.7 +/- 1.7 mg/L, respectively-whereas apo B and LpC-III:B concentrations tended to decrease--1.20 +/- 0.04 vs 1.06 +/- 0.04 g/L and 19.3 +/- 1.2 vs 14.9 +/- 1.0 mg/L, respectively. No significant difference between these four types of alcohol consumption was noticed for cholesterol, triglycerides, apo E, and Lp(a). After withdrawal, the concentrations of serum apo A-I, apo C-III, LpA-I, LpA-I:A-II, and LpC-III decreased significantly (P </= 0.01), reaching values comparable with those in low drinkers; concentrations of triglycerides, apo B, apo E, and Lp(a) rose; and cholesterol concentration was unaffected. In multiple regression analysis, after adjustment for serum concentrations of albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase and for the Quetelet index, alcohol consumption remained positively correlated to apo A-I, LpA-I:A-II, apo C-III, and LpC-III concentrations. Study of other determinants of serum apo and lipoprotein concentrations suggests that alcohol-related variations in some of them, especially apo A-I, might depend on the metabolic ability of the liver to synthesize proteins and on induction phenomena. Finally, although the increase of antiatherogenic apo- and lipoproteins and the decrease of those known to be atherogenic were generally marked in alcoholics, alcohol-related modifications of these markers were very limited in our sample of French healthy men. We conclude, therefore, that moderate alcohol consumption (20-50 g/day) is unlikely to protect against ischemic heart disease through an effect on the proteins measured in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There seems to be a consensus that family influences on dietary habits are important but few studies have addressed this issue directly. The purpose of this study was to determine if and how dietary intake aggregates within families. METHODS We examined the family aggregation of energy intake and the proportion of protein, fat and carbohydrate in the diet, estimated by a 3-day food consumption diary in 387 middle-class French families. RESULTS For energy and all macronutrients, spouse-spouse and child-child correlations were higher than parent-child correlations suggesting the minor contribution of genetics and the preponderant role of cultural and residual random environment. Variance component analysis confirmed the absence of genetic component for energy and all macronutrients and underlined the important role of a cohabitational effect for parents. Cultural inheritance represented 30-40% of dietary intake variance for children. Families who shared meals together more often had a lower residual random component. With the increasing number of meals eaten together (> 45/week versus < or = 45/week), between-generation components increased by about 10% for fat and carbohydrate, while for protein intake, the between-generation component for both parents (about 27%) and children (about 37%) remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS The general finding that dietary intake aggregates within families and that the individual behaviours are greatly influenced by characteristics within the family unit such as the number of meals eaten together provides additional justification for health promotion programmes that target the family as the unit for intervention.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and the phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) in determining the size distribution of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in human plasma. Whereas both purified CETP and PLTP preparations were able to promote the size redistribution of isolated HDL3, CETP favored the emergence of small HDL, while PLTP induced the formation of both small and large conversion products. When the total plasma lipoprotein fractions isolated from nine distinct subjects were incubated for 24 h at 37 degrees C with either purified PLTP or purified CETP, significant alterations in the relative proportions of the five distinct plasma HDL subpopulations, i.e., HDL2b (9.71-12.90 nm), HDL2a (8.77-9.71 nm), HDL3a (8.17-8.77 nm), HDL3b (7.76-8.17 nm), and HDL3c (7.21-7. 76 nm) were also observed. PLTP induced a significant increase in the relative abundance of HDL2b (8.66 +/- 2.34% versus 7.87 +/- 1. 83% in controls; p < 0.01) and a significant decrease in the relative abundance of HDL3a (32.76 +/- 3.42% versus 37.87 +/- 2.62% in controls; p < 0.05). In contrast, CETP significantly reduced the relative proportion of HDL2a (33.03 +/- 2.53% versus 37.56 +/- 6.43% in controls; p < 0.01) but significantly increased the relative proportion of both HDL3b (21.36 +/- 6.97% versus 15.58 +/- 7.75% in controls; p < 0.01) and HDL3c (3.21 +/- 4.84% versus 1.13 +/- 0.56% in controls; p < 0.05). Finally, in order to assess further the physiological relevance of in vitro observations, CETP activity, PLTP activity, and HDL size distribution were determined in plasmas from 33 alcoholic patients entering a cessation program. Alcohol withdrawal was associated with (i) a significant increase in plasma CETP activity (173.5 +/- 70.5%/h/ml before versus 223.2 +/- 69. 3%/h/ml after alcohol withdrawal, p = 0.0007), (ii) a significant reduction in plasma PLTP activity (473.9 +/- 203.7%/h/ml before versus 312.7 +/- 148.4%/h/ml after alcohol withdrawal, p = 0.0001), and (iii) a significant shift of large HDL2b and HDL2a toward small HDL3b and HDL3c. On the one hand, changes in plasma CETP activity correlated negatively with changes in the proportion of HDL2a (r = -0.597, p = 0.0002) and positively with changes in the proportion of HDL3b (r = 0.457, p = 0.0075). On the other hand, changes in plasma PLTP activity correlated positively with changes in the proportion of HDL2b (r = 0.482, p = 0.0045) and negatively with changes in the proportion of HDL3a (r = -0.418, p = 0.0154). Taken together, data of the present study revealed that plasma PLTP and CETP can exert opposite effects on the size distribution of plasma HDL. PLTP can promote the formation of HDL2b particles at the expense of HDL3a, while CETP can promote the formation of HDL3b particles at the expense of HDL2a.

Abstract
The effects of 3,3',5 triiodo-L-thyronine (L-T3) on the constitutive levels of hepatic mRNA encoding two UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms implicated in the glucuronidation of planar phenolic substrates (UGT1*06) and bilirubin (UGT1*0) were investigated in rat liver. The amount of UGT mRNA was quantitated by reverse transcription and amplification methods (RT-PCR). Treatment with L-T3 significantly increased UGT1*06 and decreased UGT1*0 mRNA levels by 41% and 54%, respectively. The opposite situation was observed in thyroidectomised animals. A good relationship observed between UGT activity toward 4-nitrophenol and bilirubin and mRNA levels emphasizes the key role played by the thyroid hormone L-T3 on UGT expression.

Abstract
The biological variation factors for cholesterol in circulating immune complexes (CIC-cholesterol) were studied in 941 unselected supposedly healthy volunteers, ages 4 to 78 years. We found a complex effect of age, including the existence of two peaks of CIC-cholesterol, one in males between 11 and 14 years and in females between 11 and 30 years, and in both sexes another peak between 41 and 60 years, and in both sexes a decrease between 31 and 40 years. By use of multiple regression analysis and after adjustment for age, CIC-cholesterol was positively related to plasma cholesterol concentration and leukocyte count, values being lower in females than in males and among subjects taking anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, CIC-cholesterol was measured in 76 coronary angiography patients and in 100 supposedly healthy controls, ages 30 to 77 years. We noticed a significant increase (P < or = 0.05) of CIC-cholesterol when patients were affected by coronary stenosis between 20% and 50% (71.8 +/- 52.5 mumol/L vs 46.2 +/- 45.9 mumol/L in controls), but this was less pronounced in those with > 50% of obstruction (58.9 +/- 54.3 mumol/L); however, serum total cholesterol was not modified or even surprisingly slightly decreased in the coronary angiography individuals. Nevertheless, an important overlap of values in controls and patients makes questionable the usefulness of this variable in clinical practice.
