Abstract |
Disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and/or allylisopropylacetamide administration to rat pups did not evoke a premature induction of hepatic d-aminolevulinic acid synthetase. Administration of iron to adult rats did not alter d-aminolevulinic acid synthetase activity and had little inductive effect on home oxygenase activity. Both heme and cobalt/dextran rapidly induced microsomal heme oxygenase by 3-8 fold. Induction of heme oxygenase by heme could be totally blocked by concurrent administration of cyclo-heximide. These results argue against the hypothesis that iron is the physiological mediator of d-aminolevulinic acid synthetase activity. |
