title: Induction of hepatic long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase by clofibric acid administration.
abstract: The induction of hepatic long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase in the cytosolic fraction by administration of clofibric acid (p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid) was compared in rats, mice and guinea-pigs. In rats, two long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolases were induced by the administration of clofibric acid. In mice, only one long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase was induced, and this hydrolase had properties similar to those of the lower-molecular-weight hydrolase induced in the hepatic cytosol of rats. In hepatic cytosol of guinea-pig, no hydrolase was induced by the administration of clofibric acid.
