Abstract
The hypotheses tested in this study were that neither average progesterone (P4) concentrations in plasma and milk nor average progesterone metabolites concentrations in faeces would differ during an oestrous cycle in two groups of cows with differing daily milk yields. High producing (HP = 8) and low producing (LP = 8) dairy cows were selected randomly for the study. Their oestrous cycles were initially synchronised using P4 and prostaglandin F2alpha. Chromic oxide capsules were administered twice daily to measure total faecal output. Samples of blood, faeces and milk were taken daily throughout one oestrous cycle, plasma and milk P4, and faecal progesterone metabolites (FP4M) assayed. The average daily milk yields in the two groups were 30.8 and 21.9l per day, respectively (P < 0.0001), although daily faecal output was similar in both the groups (HP, 7.7 versus LP, 6.9 kg DM; P = 0.24). Mean plasma and milk P4 concentrations were similar in both the groups (plasma P4, 4.12 versus 4.05 ng/ml; P = 0.3; milk P4, 8.2 versus 8.3; P = 0.9) during dioestrus. Average daily excretion of P4 to the milk was greater in HP than LP cows (252 versus 185 microg, P = 0.04). Neither concentration nor the daily yield of FP4Ms was affected by level of milk yield (concentration: 12.2 versus 11.5 microg/g; daily yield: 89.1 versus 82.9 mg per day; P > 0.05). These data showed that the concentrations of P4 in plasma and milk, and the concentrations and daily yields of FP4M were not affected by the level of daily milk yields which differed by about 41% of the LP average of 21.9l.

Abstract
The activity and expression of cytochromes P450 were determined in liver, kidneys, lungs, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and caecum of adult Lacaune sheep. High expression of total P450, benzphetamine and erythromycin demethylase activities, and P450 2B isoforms, as two distinct proteins that were detected and called P4502 Bm and P4502 Bx, was found in the lungs (in addition to liver). By contrast, the P450 3A subfamily was only expressed in liver and duodenal mucosa of untreated sheep. Phenobarbital (PB) treatment led to significant increases in all measured hepatic parameters and in total P450 of each investigated organ with the exception of ileum and caecum. Benzphetamine demethylase activity increased in liver and kidneys, correlating with the expression of the two P450 2B proteins, which were also induced in duodenum and ileum. By contrast, benzphetamine demethylase activity and expression of the P450 2B isoforms in lungs were unchanged by PB treatment. Erythromycin demethylation activity and P450 3A subfamily expression was increased only in liver of PB-treated sheep.Key words: phenobarbital, sheep, cytochromes P450, inducibility, tissue distribution.

Abstract
Moxidectin is an antiparasitic drug widely used in cattle, sheep and companion animals. No data were available on its metabolism in wild species or in monogastrics. The in vitro metabolism of 14C-moxidectin was studied using hepatic microsomes from several different species: cow (Bos taurus). sheep (Ovis ovis), goat (Capra hircus), deer (Cervus dama), rat (Rattus norvegicus), pig (Sus scrofa and rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). After separation and quantification by HPLC, the extent of metabolism of 14C-moxidectin was greatest with microsomes from sheep (32.7%) as compared to those from cows (20.6%), deer (15.4%), goats (12.7%). rabbits (7.0%) or rats (3.0%). The least metabolism occurred with microsomes from pigs. with 0.8% of total detected metabolites. A C29 monohydroxymethyl metabolite was detected in the greatest amounts. providing 0.4% out of the total detected radioactivity in pigs and 19.3% in sheep. In addition, the importance of P450 3A in the metabolism of 14C-moxidectin was confirmed by using in vivo induced P450 in combination with various P450 inhibitors.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to measure the effects of level of feeding and the form of progesterone (P4) administration on the concentrations and yields of faecal P4 metabolites relative to differences in plasma P4 concentrations in non-lactating cows. Six non-lactating Holstein-Friesian cows were ovariectomised (OVX) and allocated to two groups: (i) P4 by subcutaneous injection (P4-s.c., n=3); and (ii) P4 administration per vaginum (P4-p.v., n=3). Each cow in the P4-s.c. group was injected subcutaneously once daily with 200mg P4. Each cow in the P4-p.v. group had a CIDR device inserted for 11 days when it was removed and replaced with a second device for further 11 days. Cows were fed a ration containing lucerne (33%) and oaten (66%) chaff at a maintenance level (M) in two portions in the first period of the study, and at a half-maintenance (1/2M) level during the second period. Chromic oxide capsules (Cr(2)O(3)) were administered twice daily to allow faecal output (FO) to be estimated. Plasma P4 and faecal P4 metabolites (FP4M; 20-oxo-pregnanes, 20alpha- and 20beta-OH-pregnanes) were measured during the treatment period. Daily FO declined after reducing the M diet to 1/2M (4.77 versus 2.61kg; P<0.01), whereas plasma P4 concentrations increased in the P4-s.c. group (4.2 versus 6.2ng/ml; P<0.05), but not in the P4-p.v. group (0.9 versus 1.0ng/ml; P>0.2). The mass of P4 released from a CIDR device during each 11-day period (M or 1/2M) was similar (0.66 versus 0.63g). Faecal 20-oxo-pregnanes (20-oxo-) concentrations were not affected by day or level of feeding, whereas faecal 20alpha-OH (20alpha-) and 20beta-OH (20beta-) concentrations were increased with the 1/2M diet in the P4-s.c. group (4.3 versus 5.6 microg/gDM; 2.2 versus 5.6 microg/gDM, respectively; P<0.05), but not in the P4-p.v. group (2.3 versus 2.7 microg/gDM; 1.7 versus 3.04 microg/gDM P>0.05). These changes in concentration only partly compensated for the reduced FO with the 1/2M diets as daily yields of FP4M (20-oxo- and 20alpha-) were greater during the M diet period (20-oxo-: 6.9 versus 4.1 microg/gDM; 2.7 versus 1.5 microg/gDM, for P4-s.c. and P4-p.v. groups, respectively; P<0.05, 20alpha-: 19.9 versus 13.6 microg/gDM; 10.9 versus 6.6 microg/gDM for P4-s.c. and P4-p.v. groups, respectively; P<0.05). The level of feeding and the route of P4 administration had key roles in controlling P4 concentrations in blood and daily FP4M yield.

Abstract
Using the isolated perfused neonatal sheep liver model, we examined the disposition of propranolol (n = 8, age 0.25-10 days) and compared our findings with our previous study from the perfused near-term fetal sheep liver (Ring JA, et al. 1995. Drug Metab Dispos 23:190-196). Within 45 min of dosage, perfusate propranolol levels had fallen by three orders of magnitude to be less than the limit of detection. Perfusate disappearance curves were monoexponential in six experiments and biexponential in two experiments. The mean shunt-corrected hepatic extraction ratio was 0.92 +/- 0.09, much greater than that seen in the fetal sheep liver (0.26 +/- 0.13, P < 0.0001) but still less than values in the adult sheep (0.97). At the conclusion of the perfusion, 4-hydroxypropranolol was the major metabolite present and 5-hydroxypropranolol and N-desisopropylpropranolol were minor metabolites. We conclude that the isolated perfused neonatal sheep liver is a useful model with which to study the maturation of neonatal hepatic drug oxidation. Our study shows that propranolol is rapidly eliminated by the neonatal liver to form several metabolites at rates far greater than in the fetal liver, but rates of elimination have not yet reached that reported in the adult sheep liver.

Abstract
The majority of studies of fetal hepatic elimination have concentrated on the expression and activity of the metabolizing enzymes, but the unique physiologic milieu of the fetal liver should also be considered. The basic structure of the liver is formed by the end of the first trimester. The fetal hepatic circulation differs substantially from that of the adult in that there is an extra input vessel, the umbilical vein, and there is shunting of 30-70% of hepatic blood flow via the ductus venosus. The left and right lobes of the fetal liver seem to function independently with respect to a variety of biochemical parameters, due at least in part to the lower oxygen supply to the right lobe. The zonation of drug-metabolizing enzymes along the hepatic acinus, which is prominent in the adult liver, is absent in the fetal liver. Unlike rodent species, the human fetal liver has a significant capacity for drug metabolism. Of the oxidative enzymes, CYP3A7 accounts for up to 50% of total fetal hepatic cytochrome P450 content. Expression of this enzyme decreases dramatically after birth. CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 have also been detected in human fetal liver, but whether CYP2E1 is expressed remains controversial. Several other cytochrome P450s have been identified and await characterization. Fetal hepatic drug conjugation may prolong fetal exposure to the metabolites produced, which, being more water soluble, do not readily cross the placenta back to the mother and, if excreted in fetal urine, can be recycled in the fetus via amniotic fluid and fetal swallowing. Limited activity of glucuronidation enzymes has been demonstrated in human fetal liver in contrast to the activity of sulfation enzymes, which is significant. Limited in vivo studies in fetal sheep have demonstrated significant fetal hepatic drug elimination, and this has been confirmed in studies of the isolated perfused fetal sheep liver. Our understanding of fetal hepatic elimination processes has advanced steadily over the years. Future developments, however, should consider more fully the influence of the unique physiological milieu of the fetal liver, in addition to the expression and activity of drug metabolizing enzymes.

Abstract
The roles of cytochrome CYP3A and CYP2B isozymes in the bioactivation and detoxification of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) senecionine (SN) have been investigated in vitro with sheep and hamster hepatic microsomes. Our results show that the rate of SN activation measured by (+/-)-6, 7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP) formation greatly exceeded the rate of SN N-oxide formation (detoxification) in hamsters. In contrast, SN N-oxide, a detoxification product, was the major metabolite in sheep with much lower DHP production. Immunoinhibition studies with anti-sheep CYP3A and CYP2B antibodies show that members of CYP3A subfamily play the major role in the conversion of PA to pyrrolic metabolites in both species (over 90% in sheep; 68% in hamster). These enzymes also contribute 38.8 and 41. 3% of SN N-oxidation in sheep and hamsters, respectively. In contrast, CYP2B isoforms have a limited capacity toward DHP formation in both species (47% in sheep; 32% in hamster), while these enzymes catalyzed only 24.6 and 35.4% SN N-oxidation in sheep and hamster, respectively. Using triacetyloleandomycin (TAO) and gestodene, two highly selective chemical inhibitors of CYP3A isoforms, our data show that 90% of DHP formation was inhibited by either inhibitor in sheep. Gestodene appeared to be more efficient than TAO in the inhibition of DHP production in hamsters. Testosterone 6beta-hydroxylase activity, a functional marker of CYP3A, was significantly inhibited by TAO and gestodene in sheep liver microsomes and by gestodene (100 microM) in hamster liver microsomes. These results suggest that CYP3A isozymes have important roles in bioactivation and detoxification of PA in both species, whereas CYP2B subfamily members are less efficient in biotransformation of PA.

Abstract
From a bovine liver cDNA library in λMaxl a 1870 bp cDNA was isolated using the human CYP3A4 cDNA as a probe. The cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence encoded a protein of 507 amino acids and exhibited homologies of 76, 72 and 64% with canine CYP3A12, human CYP3A4 and rat CYP3A1, respectively. Furthermore, a very high homology of 91.7% was observed with the deduced amino acid sequence of a partial CYP3A cDNA from dwarf goat. A striking observation was that both the bovine and the goat cDNA exhibit a 4 amino acid extension at the C-terminus, which is due to a frame-shifting insertion of 2 nt. The bovine CYP3A cDNA was cloned in a retroviral vector, transfected to V79 cells and cells were selected for cytochrome P450 expression. The expressed enzyme was shown to catalyze the 6β-hydroxylation of testosterone, which could also be observed in a V79 cell line expressing human CYP3A4. In the bovine CYP3A cell line, however, 6β-hydroxytestosterone was not found to be the major metabolite. This cell line additionally showed high levels of hydroxylase activity at the 2β and 12β position of testosterone. The cDNA-expressed testosterone hydroxylase activity could be inhibited with the specific CYP3A inhibitors, tiamulin and ketoconazole.

Abstract
The effects of age on felbamate apparent clearance were examined through a retrospective analysis of plasma concentration data from 700 pediatric and adult epileptic patients (age range, 2-74 years) enrolled in six clinical studies. Patients received felbamate as monotherapy or in combination with either the antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) carbamazepine (CBZ), phenytoin (PHT), or valproate (VPA). Data were analyzed using a nonlinear mixed-effects pharmacostatistical modeling technique (NONMEM). Factors in the model included age, body weight, and concomitant AEDs. Apparent clearance was highest in the very young and decreased during the early teenage years, with minimal changes observed beyond 13 years. Mean apparent clearance values were approximately 40% higher in children (2-12 years) compared with those in adults (13-65 years). This pattern and its magnitude were consistent whether felbamate was administered alone or coadministered with CBZ, PHT, or VPA. The increase in clearance is minimal compared with other AEDs including PHT, CBZ, and phenobarbital. Enzyme-inducing AEDs (CBZ and PHT) increased felbamate apparent clearance by 32-38% relative to monotherapy, whereas coadministration with VPA had a minimal effect on felbamate apparent clearance. Dose/concentration linearity was observed at all ages during mono- or polytherapy. These findings suggest that felbamate dosing should be relatively uncomplicated in children relative to that in adults.

Abstract
The effect of single or repetitive fluke-infections on rat liver steroid hormone metabolism was studied. Fascioliasis was induced by oral administration of 20 metacercariae of Fasciola hepatica to rats, by week-6 (mono-infected) or 12 and 6 (bi-infected), or 12, 9 and 6 (tri-infected) before killing. Total microsomal cytochrome P450 and P450 isoenzymes were measured spectrophotometrically and by Western-blot analysis, respectively. Progesterone and testosterone metabolism were quantified by normal phase high performance liquid chromatography. In control rats, progesterone and testosterone were mainly converted to 2 alpha- and 16 alpha-hydroxymetabolites. In the liver of mono-infected rats, hepatic cytochrome P450 was significantly decreased by 36-64% whereas the expression of all investigated isoenzymes was decreased by 36-82% with the exception of the unchanged P4502E1. 16 alpha- and 2 alpha-hydroxylations of progesterone and testosterone were significantly decreased by 50-90%, these decreases were correlated with those of P4502B1/2 and P4502C11 isoenzymes, respectively. In bi- and tri-infected rats, steroid hormones were metabolized similarly to control rats. The return of steroid drug metabolizing enzyme activities to control level could be related to the immune response associated to the development of the animal resistance to the parasitic infection.

Abstract
Male and female African dwarf goats were treated orally with phenobarbital (PB) or triacetyloleandomycin (TAO), or subcutaneously with beta-naphthoflavone (BNF). Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 content was increased by PB and TAO, but not by BNF. PB effects on P450 activities were non-selective: ethoxyresorufin deethylase (EROD) and pentoxyresorufin depentylase (PROD), hydroxylation of testosterone (TST) and demethylation of ethylmorphine (ETM) were all induced by a factor of 2-3. A similar non-selective induction was observed with TAO, except for EROD and PROD (no effects). After PB and TAO treatment, increased levels of a protein cross-reactive with anti-sheep P450 3A and 2B were found. Thus, in dwarf goats, both PB and TAO appeared to be P450 3A inducers. Selective PB effects related to a P450 2B form on PROD are lacking but 16 alpha-hydroxylation of TST was induced markedly. At the mRNA level, PB induced an mRNA that showed good sequence homology with a human P450 3A4 cDNA probe, rather than with a rat 3A1 probe. BNF selectively induced EROD, whereas TST hydroxylation and ETM dealkylation were inhibited. With BNF-treated animals, increased concentrations of a protein cross-reactive with anti-rat P450 1A1/1A2 and of an mRNA that showed homology with a human 1A1 cDNA probe, but not with a mouse 1A1/1A2 probe, were observed.

Abstract
We provide here a list of 221 P450 genes and 12 putative pseudogenes that have been characterized as of December 14, 1992. These genes have been described in 31 eukaryotes (including 11 mammalian and 3 plant species) and 11 prokaryotes. Of 36 gene families so far described, 12 families exist in all mammals examined to date. These 12 families comprise 22 mammalian subfamilies, of which 17 and 15 have been mapped in the human and mouse genome, respectively. To date, each subfamily appears to represent a cluster of tightly linked genes. This revision supersedes the previous updates [Nebert et al., DNA 6, 1-11, 1987; Nebert et al., DNA 8, 1-13, 1989; Nebert et al., DNA Cell Biol. 10, 1-14 (1991)] in which a nomenclature system, based on divergent evolution of the superfamily, has been described. For the gene and cDNA, we recommend that the italicized root symbol "CYP" for human ("Cyp" for mouse), representing "cytochrome P450," be followed by an Arabic number denoting the family, a letter designating the subfamily (when two or more exist), and an Arabic numeral representing the individual gene within the subfamily. A hyphen should precede the final number in mouse genes. "P" ("p" in mouse) after the gene number denotes a pseudogene. If a gene is the sole member of a family, the subfamily letter and gene number need not be included. We suggest that the human nomenclature system be used for all species other than mouse. The mRNA and enzyme in all species (including mouse) should include all capital letters, without italics or hyphens. This nomenclature system is identical to that proposed in our 1991 update. Also included in this update is a listing of available data base accession numbers for P450 DNA and protein sequences. We also discuss the likelihood that this ancient gene superfamily has existed for more than 3.5 billion years, and that the rate of P450 gene evolution appears to be quite nonlinear. Finally, we describe P450 genes that have been detected by expressed sequence tags (ESTs), as well as the relationship between the P450 and the nitric oxide synthase gene superfamilies, as a likely example of convergent evolution.
