PAH

There are multiple definitions:

  1. p-aminohippuric acid(English)

    • its clearance is used for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow. A simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography method with UV detection can be used for the simultaneous determination of inulin and PAH in the same chromatogram in the plasma and urine of humans
    • Abbreviation may be used in Am. Soc. Physiol. journals without definition.

  2. pulmonary arterial hypertension(English)

  3. predicted adult height(English)

  4. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(English)

    • ubiquitous environmental carcinogen and metabolized by a variety of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP), epoxide hydrolase, glutathione transferase, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, sulfotransferase, NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1, and aldo-keto reductase. These enzymes mainly participate in the conversion of PAHs to more polar and water-soluble metabolites, and the resultant metabolites are readily excreted from the body. However, during the course of metabolism, a variety of unstable and reactive intermediates of PAHs are formed, and these metabolites attack DNA, causing cell toxicity and transformation. P450s and epoxide hydrolase convert PAHs to proximate carcinogenic metabolites, PAH-diols, and these products are further metabolized by P450s to ultimate carcinogenic metabolites, PAH diol-epoxides, or by aldo-keto reductase to reactive PAH o-quinones. PAHs are also activated by P450 and peroxidases to reactive radical cations that bind covalently to DNA. Causes noticeable ecological problems in aquatic ecosystems
