Abstract
INTRODUCTION Smoking is a public health problem that has been proven to have adverse effects on human health. Aerobic exercise has positive effects on the human body, especially on the respiratory system. OBJECTIVE The aim of this experimental animal model study was to determine whether regular aerobic exercise has a protective effect against the harmful effects of cigarette smoke on the nasal mucosa of rats. METHODS A total of 24 male Wistar albino rats were randomly separated into 3 groups of 8: group 1 (cigarette smoking), group 2 (cigarette smoking and exercise), and group 3 (control group). At the end of the experiment period, histopathological (light and electron microscopy) and immunohistochemical (GSTA 1, CYP1A1, and CYP2E1) evaluations were made of the nasal mucosa of the animals. RESULTS Goblet cell loss and basal membrane thickening were significantly lower in group 2 and group 3 compared to group 1. In the electron microscope evaluation, the inflammatory expressions of the goblet cells were observed in a very small area in group 2. In group 1, these were distributed over large areas between the mucosal cells. There was seen to be significant swelling of the mitochondria in group 1 compared to the other groups. No statistically significant difference was determined between the groups with respect to GSTA1, CYP2E1, and CYP1A1 scores (P > .05). CONCLUSION The results of this study showed that regular aerobic exercise has a protective effect against the harmful effects of smoking on the nasal mucosa of rats.

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
The effectiveness of intranasal drug delivery for brain targeting has emerged as a hope of remedy for various CNS disorders. The nose to brain absorption of therapeutic molecules claims two effective pathways, which include trans-neuronal for immediate action and para-neuronal for delayed action. To evaluate the contribution of both the pathways in absorption of therapeutic molecules and nanocarriers, lidocaine, a nerve-blocking agent, was used to impair the action potential of olfactory nerve. An anti-Parkinson drug ropinirole was covalently complexes with (99m)Tc in presence of SnCl2 using in-house developed reduction technology. The radiolabeled formulations were administered intranasally in lidocaine challenged rabbit and rat. The qualitative and quantitative outcomes of neural and non-neural pathways were estimated using gamma scintigraphy and UHPLC-MS/MS, respectively. The results showed a significant (p ≤ 0.005) increase in radioactivity counts and drug concentration in the brain of rabbit and rat compared to the animal groups challenged with lidocaine. This concludes the significant contribution (p ≤ 0.005) of trans-neuronal and para-neuronal pathway in nose to brain drug delivery. Therefore, results proved that it is an art of a formulator scientist to make the drug carriers to exploit the choice of absorption pathway for their instant and extent of action.

Abstract
Methyl iodide (MeI) has been proposed as an alternative to methyl bromide as a pre-plant soil fumigant that does not deplete stratospheric ozone. In inhalation toxicity studies performed in animals as part of the registration process, three effects have been identified that warrant consideration in developing toxicity reference values for human risk assessment: nasal lesions (rat), acute neurotoxicity (rat), and fetal loss (rabbit). Uncertainties in the risk assessment can be reduced by using an internal measure of target tissue dose that is linked to the likely mode of action (MOA) for the toxicity of MeI, rather than the external exposure concentration. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models have been developed for MeI and used to reduce uncertainties in the risk assessment extrapolations (e.g. interspecies, high to low dose, exposure scenario). PBPK model-derived human equivalent concentrations comparable to the animal study NOAELs (no observed adverse effect levels) for the endpoints of interest were developed for a 1-day, 24-hr exposure of bystanders or 8 hr/day exposure of workers. Variability analyses of the PBPK models support application of uncertainty factors (UF) of approximately 2 for intrahuman pharmacokinetic variability for the nasal effects and acute neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Many of the salmon-producing waterways of the world contain pesticides known to harm olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) that are critically important throughout the salmon lifecycle. The ability of OSNs to retain functionality after exposure to complex pesticide mixtures remains unknown. Here we show that a 96-h exposure to an environmentally realistic concentration of a mixture made from the ten most frequently occurring pesticides in British Columbia's Nicomekl River reduced the OSN responses of rainbow troutto a behaviorally relevant odorant. Odor-evoked responses were not altered by exposure to one-fifth of the realistic concentration, and this may have been due an upregulation in detoxification enzymes, since glutathione-S-transferase activity reached a maximum (> 32% above control) at this concentration. Mixture exposure did not help to prevent OSN impairment from a second, brief (5 min) exposure to a higher (20 x) concentration of the mixture, suggesting longer-term, low-concentration exposures may not prevent damage from brief, high-concentration pulse exposures. This study demonstrates that environmentally observed pesticide mixtures can injure salmon olfactory tissue, and by extension, contribute to the threatened and endangered status of many salmon stocks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stresses, which induce the reactive oxygen species (ROS), can cause airway inflammation. The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) protect cells against the effects of ROS. GSTP1 polymorphism may have some effect on allergic rhinitis. Therefore, we have compared the effects of GSTP1 polymorphisms on the perennial allergic rhinitis in Koreans. METHODS Patients with perennial allergies (149 patients) were selected. The control group included 156 healthy people. Genotypes were evaluated via polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism, using the Alw26I restriction enzyme. RESULTS There was no significant difference between groups in the proportions of the Ile/Ile (wild type) and Ile/Val (heterozygote) genotypes. However, the Val/Val (mutant type homozygote) was expressed in only one case (0.7%) in the perennial allergic rhinitis group, as compared with 11 cases (7.1%) in the controls (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the Val/Val genetic polymorphism of GSTP1 may exert some protective effects in allergic inflammation.

Abstract
Recent development of a new class of patented alkylsaccharide transmucosal delivery enhancement agents, collectively designated as Intravail (Aegis Therapeutics) absorption enhancers, has created opportunities for new therapeutic options across a broad spectrum of human diseases. Intravail absorption enhancers provide unsurpassed intranasal bioavailabilities, comparable to those that are achieved by injection for protein, peptide and other macromolecular therapeutics. These novel, highly effective and non-irritating excipients circumvent the two primary limitations of intranasal drug delivery, namely mucosal irritation and poor bioavailability, and offer the promise of more convenient, more effective and safer therapeutics for patients and physicians alike. For pharmaceutical companies, Intravail provides a means to capitalise on two important industry dynamics: rapidly growing industry interest in commercialising peptide and protein drugs, and increasing interest in, and use of, the intranasal route for systemic drug delivery.

Abstract
In this study, we have examined the presence and inducibility of phase I and II drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver and nasal mucosa of Italian water frogs of control and pretreated with beta-naphthoflavone, phenobarbital and dichlobenil by using typical substrates for these enzymes along with polyclonal antibodies mainly raised against mammalian enzymes. The CYP content and various monooxygenase and phase II enzyme activities in the liver of this frog were found similar, when reported, to those of largely aquatic and semiaquatic frogs. The treatment with beta-naphthoflavone resulted in an induction in the liver of a CYP1A and the induction was manifested by (a) immunoblot analysis using anti-rat CYP1A1, (b) an increase of CYP1A-mediated methoxyresorufin-O-demethylase and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activities. The treatments with both phenobarbital and dichlobenil did not produce in the liver any effect on the assayed enzymes. When the nasal mucosa of water frogs was analyzed, various monooxygenase and phase II enzymatic activities, generally comparable to those of liver, were determined. However, by using antibodies anti-three GST different classes, we found a different reactivity into the cytosol of the two tissues indicating a differential tissue susceptibility to toxic effects of xenobiotics. In the nasal mucosa, a protein immunorelated to CYP2A and monooxygenase activities (i.e. ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase and coumarin-7-hydroxylase) linked in mammals to this isoform have also been found. The treatment of water frogs with the herbicide dichlobenil decreased both the above-mentioned activities and the immunoreactive CYP2A apoprotein. The pretreatment with metyrapone, a CYP inhibitor, protected the CYP2A apoprotein and its linked activities from toxic effect of dichlobenil indicating a key role of this enzyme in the bioactivation of this herbicide. The findings of the present work suggest that the hepatic CYP1A induction and the nasal CYP2A-like inhibition profiles might provide two potential biomarkers of the Italian water frogs exposure to environmental and aquatic pollutants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal administration of opioids may be an alternative route to intravenous, subcutaneous, oral transmucosal, oral or rectal administration in some patients. Key features may be self-administration, combined with rapid onset of action. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the present base of knowledge on this topic. METHODS The review is based on human studies found in Medline or in the reference list of these papers. The physiology of the nasal mucosa and some pharmaceutical aspects of nasal administration are described. The design of each study is described, but not systematically evaluated. RESULTS Pharmacokinetic studies in volunteers are reported for fentanyl, alfentanil, sufentanil, butorphanol, oxycodone and buprenorphine. Mean times for achieving maximum serum concentrations vary from 5 to 50 min, while mean figures for bioavailability vary from 46 to 71%. Fentanyl, pethidine and butorphanol have been studied for postoperative pain. Mean onset times vary from 12 to 22 min and times to peak effect from 24 to 60 min. There is considerable interindividual variation in pharmacokinetics and clinical outcome. This may partly be due to lack of optimization of nasal formulations. Patient-controlled nasal analgesia is an effective alternative to intravenous PCA. Adverse effects are mainly those related to the opioids themselves, rather than to nasal administration. Some experience with nasal opioids in outpatients and for chronic pain has also been reported. CONCLUSION Nasal administration of opioids has promising features, but is still in its infancy. Adequately designed clinical studies are needed. Improvements of nasal sprayer devices and opioid formulations may improve clinical outcome.

Abstract
Recently, the delivery of xenobiotics via the nasal route has received increasing attention as this offers several advantages, i.e. high systemic availability, rapid onset of action. Both charged and uncharged forms of drugs can be transported across the nasal epithelium. This mucosa is rich in various metabolizing enzymes such as aldehyde dehydrogenase, glutathione transferases, epoxide hydrolases, cyt-P450-dependent monooxygenases. The presence of these enzymes may make it possible for pharmaceutical scientists to design prodrugs for better absorption and high systemic availability. Recent advances in peptide nasal delivery through prodrug modification has been thoroughly discussed in this paper. Finally, nasally delivered therapeutic agents targeted to various disease states have been examined.

Abstract
High levels of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes occur in the nasal mucosa of all species studied. In certain species, including rats and rabbits, unique enzymes are present in the nasal mucosa. The function of these enzymes is not well understood, but it is thought that they play a role in protecting the lungs from toxicity of inhalants. The observation that several nasal xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes accept odorants as substrates may indicate that these enzymes also play a role in the olfactory process. Xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes were found in the nasal cavity around 15 years ago. Since that time, much has been learned about the nature of the enzymes and the substrates they accept. In the present review, this information is summarized with special attention to species differences in xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes of the nasal cavity. Such differences may be important in interpreting the results of toxicity assays in animals because rodents are apparently more susceptible to nasal toxicity after exposure to inhalants than are humans.

Abstract
The cellular expression of alpha, mu, and pi classes of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) was investigated in human nasal mucosa by means of immunocytochemical techniques. In the olfactory mucosa, immunoreactivity for GST-alpha was most intense in the acinar cells of the Bowman's glands, with weak immunoreactivity in the supranuclear region of sustentacular cells. Whereas GST-pi was localized only in the sustentacular cells, no GST-mu was detected. In the respiratory mucosa, GST-alpha and GST-pi were detected at the brush borders of ciliated columnar epithelial cells. There were age- and gender-related trends in the expression of GST-alpha, but not GST-pi, in the olfactory mucosa. The intensity of immunoreactivity in the olfactory mucosa was decreased in older subjects. The expression of GST-alpha in the olfactory mucosa of females consistently exhibited greater intensity than that of males at all the ages studied. These differences were not observed in the respiratory mucosa. These results indicate that acinar cells of the Bowman's glands and sustentacular cells are the major sites of phase II biotransformation in the human nasal mucosa.

Abstract
In the fish olfactory system, glutathione S-transferases (GST) which detoxify electrophilic substances and participate in reactions of lipophilic compounds, may be active in the biotransformation of odorants and xenobiotics. In this study GST activity in the rainbow trout olfactory mucosa was high (477.6 +/- 218 nmol/min per mg protein). The GST pi class was demonstrated by Western immunoblot analysis and localized by immunofluorescence to the dendritic and perinuclear regions of olfactory receptor neurons; areas previously shown to contain elevated glutathione.

Abstract
The expression of three classes of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), Alpha, Mu, and Pi was investigated in the nasal mucosae of rats during development using immunohistochemical methods. GST Alpha and Mu were first detected in the supranuclear region of sustentacular cells on embryonic days 16. The Bowman's glands expressed differential patterns of immunoreactivity during development, beginning at postnatal day (P) 2 and P6 for Alpha and Mu classes, respectively and being greatest at P11 for both. The acinar cells of vomeronasal glands in the vomeronasal organ expressed Alpha and Mu classes of GSTs from P11 onwards. In the septal organ of Masera, the supranuclear region of sustentacular cells expressed GSTs from P11 with little or no variation during development. In the respiratory mucosa, Alpha and Mu classes of GSTs were detected at the brush borders of ciliated cells and in the acinar cells of posterior septal glands, but not in anterior septal or respiratory glands located on the turbinates. Compared to olfactory mucosa, the changes in immunoreactivity for GSTs were less pronounced in the respiratory mucosa during development. Specific GST Pi immunoreactivity was not detected in the nasal mucosae at any stage of development studied. The occurrence of GSTs in the nasal mucosa, including olfactory, vomeronasal, septal, and respiratory epithelia, suggests that the GSTs are actively involved in the biotransformation of xenobiotics including odorants and pheromones, and may also participate in perireceptor processes such as odorant clearance. In addition, we have developed a working model describing the cellular localization of certain phase I (e.g., cytochrome P-450s) and phase II (e.g., GSTs, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase) biotransformation enzymes in the olfactory mucosa and their proposed roles in xenobiotic metabolism.

Abstract
Glutathione transferase (GST) was investigated in the olfactory and respiratory epithelium of cattle. A significantly more abundant GST in terms of either protein amount or activity was found in the olfactory rather than in the respiratory epithelium. No apparent qualitative differences in the isoelectric focusing, sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and HPLC profiles were noted in the reduced glutathione (GSH) affinity purified GST pool of olfactory and respiratory epithelium. Both tissues have at least six GST isoenzymes with isoelectric point values of 4.9 (peak I), 5.3 (peak II), 5.95 (peak III), 6.5 (peak IV), 7.1 (peak V) and 9.3 (peak VI). From both tissues at least seven different GST subunits can be resolved by HPLC analysis. The GST isoenzymes having pI at 5.3 and 9.3 were predominantly expressed in the olfactory than in the respiratory epithelium. These latter forms conjugate GSH efficiently with alkenals and hydroperoxides, respectively. Kinetic, immunological and structural properties, including HPLC analysis and N-terminal region amino acid sequence seem to indicate that the bovine nasal mucosa tissue in addition to a GST subunit which is orthologue to rat subunit 8 (alpha class) express tissues specific subunits.

Abstract
The olfactory epithelium is exposed to a variety of xenobiotic chemicals, including odorants and airborne toxic compounds. Recently, two novel, highly abundant, olfactory-specific biotransformation enzymes have been identified: cytochrome P-450olf1 and olfactory UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT(olf)). The latter is a phase II biotransformation enzyme which catalyses the glucuronidation of alcohols, thiols, amines and carboxylic acids. Such covalent modification, which markedly affects lipid solubility and agonist potency, may be particularly important in the rapid termination of odorant signals. We report here the identification and characterization of a second olfactory phase II biotransformation enzyme, a glutathione S-transferase (GST). The olfactory epithelial cytosol shows the highest GST activity among the extrahepatic tissues examined. Significantly, olfactory epithelium had an activity 4-7 times higher than in other airway tissues, suggesting a role for this enzyme in chemoreception. The olfactory GST has been affinity-purified to homogeneity, and shown by h.p.l.c. and N-terminal amino acid sequencing to constitute mainly the Yb1 and Yb2 subunits, different from most other tissues that have mixtures of more enzyme classes. The identity of the olfactory enzymes was confirmed by PCR cloning and restriction enzyme analysis. Most importantly, the olfactory GSTs were found to catalyse glutathione conjugation of several odorant classes, including many unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, as well as epoxides. Together with UGT(olf), olfactory GST provides the necessary broad coverage of covalent modification capacity, which may be crucial for the acuity of the olfactory process.

Abstract
Nasal delivery is a potential alternative for systemic availability of drugs restricted to intravenous administration, such as peptide and protein drugs. Although nasal delivery avoids the hepatic first-pass effect, the enzymatic barrier of the nasal mucosa creates a pseudo-first-pass effect. The xenobiotic metabolic activity in the nasal epithelium has been investigated in several species including humans. The Phase I, cytochrome P-450 enzymes have been studied extensively for their toxicological significance, since these enzymes metabolize inhaled pollutants into reactive metabolites which may induce nasal tumors. The cytochrome P-450 activity in the olfactory region of the nasal epithelium is higher even than in the liver, mainly because of a three- to fourfold higher NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase content. Phase II activity has also been found in the nasal epithelium. The delivery of peptides and proteins has been hindered by the peptidase and protease activity in the nasal mucosa. The predominant enzyme appears to be aminopeptidase among other exopeptidases and endopeptidases. The absorption of peptide drugs can be improved by using aminoboronic acid derivatives, amastatin, and other enzyme inhibitors as absorption enhancers. It is possible that some of the surfactants, e.g., bile salts, increase absorption by inhibiting the proteolytic enzymes. Thus, in addition to the permeation barriers, there also exists an enzymatic barrier to nasal drug delivery, which is created by metabolic enzymes in the nasal epithelium.

Abstract
Study of oxidative and non-oxidative xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes was undertaken in microsomal and cytosolic fractions of two human livers, 10 individual and several pooled samples of human respiratory nasal mucosa obtained by surgical operation of male and female patients affected by hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates. The purity of nasal microsomes was checked by electron microscopy and marker enzyme assay. The pooled samples of respiratory nasal epithelium contained, relative to liver, a low amount of cytochrome P450 (about 25 pmol/mg protein) and associated biotransformation activities, and a low level of other components of the mixed-function oxidase system such as cytochrome b5, NADH and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase however the NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase activity was comparable to that of liver. The P450-dependent monooxygenase activities such as ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase, ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and the dimethylnitrosamine N-demethylase were found in nearly all nasal microsomal specimens. The aniline hydroxylase and the aminopyrine or hexamethylphosphoramide N-demethylases were detected only in the pooled nasal samples. With regard to the non-oxidative enzymes, the activities of glutathione S-transferase, DT-diaphorase, epoxide hydrolase, UDP-glucuronyl-transferase, carbonyl reductase, benzaldehyde and propionaldehyde dehydrogenases, were investigated both in the individual and pooled nasal tissues and livers. These activities were similar in nasal and liver tissue, except for UDP-glucuronyltransferase which was not detected in nasal mucosa. The present findings demonstrate that the respiratory section of human nose contains a wide array of oxidative and non-oxidative enzymes, which could play a crucial role in the bioactivation or detoxication in situ of inhaled xenobiotics.

Abstract
1. By using affinity chromatography and chromatofocusing analysis at least two major glutathione transferases, named GST II and GST III can be isolated from Gammarus italicus. 2. GST II has an isoelectric point at pH 5.0 and is composed of two subunits with an apparent molecular mass of 28 KDa. 3. GST III which has an isoelectric point at pH 4.6 was found to be an heterodimer of 27 KDa and 28 KDa. 4. The 28 KDa subunit cross-reacted in immunoblotting analysis with antisera raised against pi class GST, whereas none of the antisera raised against alpha, mu and pi class GSTs cross-reacted with the 27 KDa subunit.
