Abstract

The effect of cadmium along with a porphyrogenic drug, allyl isopropyl acetamide, on the induction of 5-amino levulinic acid (ALA) synthetase, ALA dehydratase and heme level was studied. The interaction of cadmium with allyl isopropyl acetamide indicated that the decrease in hepatic heme level by cadmium or allyl isopropyl acetamide may occur in a synergistic manner, whereas the induction of ALA synthetase by cadmium or allyl isopropyl acetamide may not take place in the same manner. Further, neither allyl isopropyl acetamide treatment alone nor allyl isopropyl acetamide-cadmium treatment had any effect on ALA dehydratase activity.
