Effect of calcium ions on ethanol oxidation and drug glucuronidation in isolated hepatocytes.

Abstract

The effect of extracellular Ca2+ concentration on ethanol oxidation and drug metabolism was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes. Both ethanol oxidation and drug glucuronidation showed similar dependence upon Ca2+, which was a stimulation of activity as Ca2+ was increased to physiological concentration, and inhibition at higher concentration.
