The effects of small molecule heme oxygenase inhibitors on rat cytochromes P450 2E1 and 3A1/2
Heme oxygenases (HO) catalyze the degradation of heme into biliverdin, carbon monoxide (CO) and free iron. The two major isoforms, HO-2 (constitutive) and HO-1 (inducible by various stressors such as heavy metals and reactive oxygen species) are involved in a variety of physiological functions, inc...
