Enzymic 'imprinting' as the result of early postnatal administration of enzyme inducers to animals.
Early postnatal treatment of rats or mice with different enzyme inducers (cortisol, galactose, steroid which induces mixed function oxidases) results in long-lasting changes in the activity of corresponding inducible enzymes.
