Table 2. Kinetics of GSH conjugation of TRI in rat kidney cytoplasm from control and Hg2+-pretreated rats.

Male Fischer 344 rats were given an ip injection of either saline (Con, control) or 0.5 μmol HgCl2/kg (Hg2+). After 24 or 48 h, cytoplasm was isolated from kidney cortex of each pretreatment group and were incubated with 5 mM GSH and 0.2 to 10 mM TRI for up to 60 min. Kinetic parameters are derived from Eadie-Hofstee (E-H) plots of the V vs. S data shown in Fig. 2.

E-H regression equation; R2 Vmax (nmol DCVG/60 min per mg) Km (mM TRI)
Control-24 h Y=3.490-0.762X; R2=0.831 4.58 1.31
Hg2+-24 h Y=6.045-0.852X; R2=0.936 7.10 1.17
Control-48 h Y=3.086-0.616X; R2=0.799 5.01 1.62
Hg2+-48 h Y=5.744-0.857X; R2=0.946 6.70 1.17
