Comparisons between human and rodent hepatic glutathione S-Transferase activities reveal sex and species differences

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are conjugating enzymes involved in drug metabolism, antioxidant defence, and cell signalling. Herein, we investigated hepatic GST conjugation in several mouse and rat strains, including both sexes, with a direct comparison to humans.Using general and isoform-selective substrates, all mouse strains had significantly greater activities than humans for total cytosolic GST, GST-M, GST-T, and microsomal GST activities. Some strains had significantly greater GST-P activities compared to humans. Sex differences between males and females were evident in all strains for total cytosolic GST, GST-M, and GST-P, and sex differences in GST-T and microsomal GST activities within strains were noted.All rats had significantly greater activities than humans for GST-M and GST-T; only some strains were significantly greater than humans for GST-P, total cytosolic GST, and microsomal GST. Sex differences within strains showed significantly greater GST-M and GST-T activities in males compared to females. Select strains showed sex differences for total cytosolic and microsomal GST activities; there were no sex differences in GST-P activities.Significant differences in glutathione conjugation between humans and rodents exist, including sex differences. This highlights the need for careful animal selection in pre-clinical studies where GSTs are the primary metabolic pathway.
