title: The relationship between delta-aminolaevulinate synthetase induction and the concentration of cytochrome P-450 and catalase in rat liver.
abstract: The porphyrinogenic drug 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide causes the degradation of microsomal cytochrome P-450 and inhibits the synthesis of catalase in rat liver. The inhibition of catalase synthesis follows the induction of delta-aminolaevulinate synthetase and the consequent overproduction of haem. The allylisopropylacetamide-mediated breakdown of cytochrome P-450 is a rapid event and has a reciprocal relationship to the pattern of delta-aminolaevulinate synthetase induction. Breakdown of cytochrome P-450 appears to be one of the conditions leading to the ;derepression' of delta-aminolaevulinate synthetase.
