title: Seasonal variation of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase inducibility in human lymphocytes in culture.
abstract: The aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) inducibility in lymphocytes from peripheral blood of 92 healthy young subjects was tested during a period of 8 months (November - June). The average AHH inducibility was found to be higher from March to June than from November to February, indicating a seasonal variation. Various other features of lymphocytes in culture also appeared to change with the season.
