Abstract

The effect of aging on hepatic drug conjugation in 5- to 6-, 12- to 13- and 22- to 23-month-old female Fischer 344 rats was examined. The overall disposition of acetaminophen including the formation and elimination kinetics of its sulfate and glucuronide metabolites were used as in vivo probes. The effects of aging on selected in vitro drug metabolizing enzyme activities and on the pattern of phenol and bile salt sulfotransferase isoenzymes were also determined. Aging decreased the total clearance of acetaminophen and the partial clearance of acetaminophen to acetaminophen sulfate by 36 and 47%, respectively. Increasing age also resulted in a reduced partial clearance of acetaminophen to the glucuronide- (24%) and to the glutathione-derived conjugates (29%). UDP glucuronosyltransferase activity toward 1-naphthol, morphine and testosterone was unaffected by advanced age, whereas there was a significant correlation between increased age and increased UDP glucuronosyltransferase activity toward estrone. Cytochrome P-450 concentration and glutathione-S-transferase activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene were unchanged by aging. Oxidative demethylase activity toward p-nitroanisole was decreased 18% and sulfotransferase activities toward p-nitrophenol, acetaminophen and glycolithocholate were decreased 27, 12 and 12%, respectively, in the 22- to 23-month-old rats, compared to the 5- to 6-month-old animals. In contrast to the age-related feminization in the pattern of sulfotransferase isoenzyme activities that occurs in male rats, there was no effect of aging on the pattern of phenol and bile salt sulfotransferase isoenzyme activities in female rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
