What are the broad functions of phase I and II reactions?
Phase I - add a polar group

Phase II - makes conjugation products with increased water solubility
Three types of reactions that comprise Phase I?
C-P450 Monooxygenase System
Flavin Containing Monooxygenase System
Peroxidase dependent cooxidation
Four reactions that comprise Phase II?
Glucuronidation
Methylation
Conjugation
Sulfation
classic example of C-P450 Monooxygenase system?
Benzo[a]pyrene (cigarette smoke) is metabolized this way to a metabolite that binds DNA, leads to lung cancer
Flavin-containing monooxygenase system - func?
oxidizes amines and nicotine
Peroxidase dependent cooxidation - book example?
metabolizes 2-napthylamine (synthetic dyes) to something that causes bladder cancer)
Glucuronidation - example?
a phase II reaction that does napthylamine to N-hydroxy-2-napthylamine (causes bladder cancer)
Biomethylation - example?
turns mercury into methylmercury and leads to bioaccumulation in the food chain
Glutathione conjugation - example?
Vinyl Chloride - if the reactive metabolite produced by C-P450 is converted to a conjugation product by glutathione, it will be peed out. Otherwise it can bind to a cellular macromolecule and cause cancer
What is vinyl chloride used for?
manufacture of plastics
Three enzymes that do alcohol->acetaldehyde and their locations?
alcohol dehydrogenase - gastric mucosa and liver
CYP2E1 - liver
Catalase - liver
what happens once alcohol becomes acetaldehyde?
aldehyde dehydrogenase in the mitochondria turns it into acetic acid
What is the classic sign of acute alcoholic hepatitis?
Mallory bodies - they are little bundles of keratin filament proteins that stain pink and are stuck together by heat shock proteins
In acute alcoholic hepatitis, where does the necrosis and fibrosis start?
near the central vein, because it's mediated by hypoxia
What are the effects of alcohol toxicity on the liver? (3)

What are the effects of alcohol toxicity on the musculoskeletal system? (1)
rhabdomyolysis
What are the effects of alcohol (w/unknown mechanism) on the reproductive system
testicular atrophy
spontaneous abortion
What are the characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome? (3)
growth retardation
mental retardation
birth defects

PK
Hallucinogens - list
LSD
Mescaline
Psilocybin
LMP
What is a Mallory-Weiss tear of the esophagus?
Happens when alcoholics get portal HTN due to cirrohsis of the liver. Blood backs up to esophageal veins, they get huge and weak, and then tear when you puke
What does ozone do to healthy people? (3)
decreased lung function
increased airway reactivity
lung inflammation
What do pretty much all the outdoor air pollutants do to asthmatics? (2)
decreased lung function
increased hospitalizations
What are the three outdoor pollutants that cause increased respiratory infections in kids?
Nitrogen dioxide
Acid aerosols
Particulates
Effect of acid aerosols (outdoor air pollution) on healthy adults?
altered mucociliary clearance
What levels of CO saturation of Hb cause systemic hypoxia, and then death?
systemic hypoxia: 25%
death: 65%
type of radiation emitted by radon gas?
alpha
Three things caused by asbestos fibers when they're inhaled?
Lung cancer
Pleural fibrous plaques
malignant mesothelioma
What are aliphatic hydrocarbons used for in industry and what are three examples of them?
