title: The effect of peroxisome proliferators on the metabolism and spectral interaction of endogenous substrates of cytochrome P-450 in rat hepatic microsomes.
abstract: The peroxisome proliferators clofibric acid and di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) preferentially induced the 12-hydroxylation, compared to the 11-hydroxylation, of lauric acid in rat liver microsomes. A marked increase in the affinity of spectral interaction of this substrate with cytochrome P-450 was also observed. In addition, both clofibric acid and DEHP treatment produced a marked effect on the profile of site- and stereo-specific microsomal metabolites of testosterone. These results demonstrate that both peroxisome proliferators induce similar form(s) of cytochrome P-450 which are active in the metabolism of endogenous substrates of cytochrome P-450. The possible relevance of these findings to the hepatotoxicity of peroxisome proliferators is discussed.
