title: Plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase: lack of induction by phenobarbital in guinea pigs.
abstract: Compared with controls, guinea pigs ip injected by phenobarbital for 4 days displayed higher activities of two hepatic microsomial enzymes: aminopyrine N-deme-thylase and benzo(alpha)pyrene hydroxylase. In contrast plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity was not increased by phenobarbital. It then appears that like in humans, plasma LCAT does not seem inducible by phenobarbital.
