Abstract

Benzene influence on some microsomal membranes characteristics was carried out. It has been shown, that benzene incorporation cause decrease in glucose-6-phosphatase activity and membrane fluidity, it was obtained the longwave shift in cytochrome P-450 absorption spectra maximum, without changes in the content of hemoprotein. Studies in vitro has shown, that membranotropic benzene action is largely decreased after NADPH addition in the medium.
