Examinations

Examinations:
The epoxide hydrolase activity, the glutathione-S-transferase activity in the cytosol and microsomes of the liver were measured.
Positive control:
no

Results and discussion

Details on results:
The epoxide hydrolase activity in the liver of adult female  Wistar significantly increase 18 hours after the administration by gavage of TMTM (from 2.08 mmol/kg).  The glutathione-S-transferase activity in the cytosol and microsomes of the liver was slightly enhanced after oral administration of TMTM (up to 4.16 mmol/kg). In vitro, TMTM significantly enhanced the hepatic activity of epoxide hydrolase prapared from adult rat.
