[The prolongation effect on the duration of pentobarbital anesthesia by submaxillariectomy in male rats].

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of submaxillariectomy (Subx) on the anesthetic effect (sleeping time) of pentobarbital, the concentration-time profile of plasma pentobarbital and the hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme systems in male rats of the Donryu strain. Subx was performed when the rats were 60 days old. Subx prolonged the duration of pentobarbital (30 mg/kg, i.p.) anesthesia at 10, 23 and 43 days after the operation, respectively. At 43 days after Subx, the plasma pentobarbital concentration was higher in the Subx group until 30 min after the administration. There was no significant difference in the hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 content between the Subx and control groups. Cytochrome b5 content, aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities were increased significantly in the Subx group. The activity of heme oxygenase, the rate limiting enzyme in the heme catabolic pathway, tended to increase in the Subx group. Furthermore, the activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase, the rate limiting enzyme in the heme synthetic pathway, was significantly decreased to 51 percent of the control group by Subx. These results may suggest that the prolongation of the duration of pentobarbital anesthesia is caused by Subx due to the change in the pharmacokinetics of pentobarbital, especially the inhibitory effects of the hepatic pentobarbital metabolizing enzyme system.
