ABSTRACT With the aid of metenolon-17α-T a tritium-transfer to oestrone in rat liver slices was demonstrated. This tritium-transfer from metenolon17α-T to oestrone yielding tritium-labelled oestradiol had a higher efficiency in male than in female rat liver. Correspondingly in the presence of metenolon the relation of oestrone to oestradiol is changed more in male than in female rat liver. Looking for biochemical differences between the anabolic steroid metenolon and testosterone the oxydation at C17 was measured in different organs of the rat using 17α-T-labelled steroids. The highest oxydation rate was found for both steroids in the liver. In the sexual organs of male rats the oxydation rate of testosterone was 50–10 times higher than that of the anabolic steroid. This difference was less in sexual organs of female rats. This result of a greater biochemical difference between both steroids in males than in females leads to the question, whether the dissociation between the anabolic and the androgen effects is higher in males than in females.

This study investigated the effects of some experimental variables on the rate of xenobiotic metabolism in precision-cut rat liver slices. Liver slices of 123 ± 8μm (mean ± SEM of six slices), 165 ± 3μm, 238 ± 6μm and 515 ± 14μm thickness were prepared from male Sprague-Dawley rats, and incubated in RPMI 1640 medium in an atmosphere of 95% O2/5% CO2 by using a dynamic organ culture system. Liver slices of all thicknesses metabolised 10μM 7-ethoxycoumarin to total (free and conjugated) 7-hydroxycoumarin in a time-dependent manner. The rate of 7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism was greatest in 165μm thick slices and slowest in 515μm thick slices, being 2.74 ± 0.19pmol/minute/mg slice protein and 0.69 ± 0.07pmol/minute/mg slice protein, respectively. No marked effects on the rate of 7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism in liver slices were observed either by changing the medium to Earle's balanced salt solution (EBSS) or by changing the gas phase to 95% air/5% CO2. Moreover, the perfusion of rat livers with EBSS at 2–4°C, prior to preparation of tissue cores, did not enhance 7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism in rat liver slices. In this study, the optimal slice thickness was 175μm, with higher rates of 7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism being observed than with 250μm thick slices, which are often used for studies of xenobiotic metabolism. Variable results were obtained with slices of around 100–120μm thickness, which may be attributable to the ratio between intact hepatocytes and cells damaged by the slicing procedure in these very thin slices.
