title: [Induction of cytochrome P-450 and b5 in hepatocyte subpopulations with phenobarbital].
abstract: Hepatocytes isolated from intact and phenobarbital-treated rats were separated by Ficoll discontinuous density gradient into five subpopulations. About 85% of the total cell number sedimented within the range of 1.044 to 1.126 g X cm-3. In intact rats, heavy hepatocytes contained about twice as much cytochrome P-450 and about 3 times as much cytochrome b5 as light cell population. Phenobarbital induced cytochrome P-450 in all subpopulations, with a more pronounced increase observed in light hepatocytes. On the contrary, maximum induction of cytochrome b5 was noted in heavy hepatocytes. The results demonstrate the absence of uniform distribution of cytochrome P-450 and b5 in hepatocyte subpopulations. The highest concentrations of both cytochromes are observed in heavy (centrolobular) hepatocytes.
