- AEPF prevented bromobenzene induced decline in GST activity in rat liver.
- BB decreases GST (GSTA3, M1 and A2) and on AEPF administration restores to control.
- Purified GSTs consisted of 8 isozymes and identified as 5 α, 2 µ and 1 Ѳ.
- AEPF suppressed BB induced decreased GST isozymes and their degradation.
The aim of this study was to investigate beneficial effect of aqueous extract of Phyllanthus fraternus (AEPF) on bromobenzene (BB) induced changes on cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GST) isozymes in rat liver. Administration of BB significantly decreased the activity of GST, however, prior administration of AEPF prevented the BB induced decrease in GST activity. Further the cytosolic GSTs were purified from 3 groups of animals (control, BB and AEPF+BB administered) and resolved into three protein bands on SDS-PAGE. Densitometric analysis showed a significant decrease in BB group compared to control. Further, 2D PAGE analysis resolved these proteins into 8 bands which were identified as five isozymes of alpha, two of Mu and one of theta by MALDI-TOF MS and also observed decreased levels of isozymes in BB group. However, on prior administration of AEPF significantly prevented the BB induced decrease in GSTs and restored to normal levels.
