Abstract

Six day after rat liver sonication, the content of cytochrome P-450, rate of NADPH oxidation, activity of NADPH—cytochrome P-450 reductase, and rate of aniline hydroxylation in the microsomal fraction decrease. After 12 days, the rate of ethylmorphine N-demethylation also decreases. Intragastral administration of methionine, nicotinamide, and vitamin E for 6 and 12 days activates these enzymes and uridine 5′-diphosphate glucuronyl transferase.
