AIM: To assess the effects of iron removal on cytochrome P450 2E1 activity and oxidative stress in dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome. METHODS: Forty-eight patients were randomized to phlebotomy therapy consisting of removal of 300-500 mL of blood every 14 days until serum ferritin levels dropped under 100 microg/L or to follow-up without phlebotomy therapy. Cytochrome P450 2E1 activity was measured at baseline and at the end of treatment by using the 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone/chlorzoxazone blood metabolic ratio, 2 h after the intake of 500 mg of chlorzoxazone. RESULTS: In the treatment group, a mean of 3.9 +/- 1.3 L of blood was removed and serum ferritin levels dropped from 715 +/- 397 to 74 +/- 34 microg/L. Variation of cytochrome P450 2E1 activity was not significantly different between the 2 groups (0.07 +/- 0.26 vs. 0.03 +/- 0.19, P = 0.36). In the treatment group, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and vitamin E were lowered after treatment compared with control group (-0.15 +/- 0.51 vs. 0.24 +/- 0.58, P = 0.002 and -1.3 +/- 4.4 vs. 2.3 +/- 5.2, P = 0.03, respectively). Inversely, vitamin C was increased (0.5 +/- 3.5 vs. -1.8 +/- 3.9, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: In dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome, reduction of iron stores does not significantly influence cytochrome P450 2E1 activity but is associated with a significant decrease of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, suggesting that venesection therapy may be a suitable option in these patients.
