title: Enzyme induction with rifampicin; lipoproteins and drug binding to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein.
abstract: Hepatic enzyme induction has been reported to increase lignocaine binding, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein concentration and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. In eight volunteers treated with rifampicin for 3 weeks there was no significant alteration in these three variables although their antipyrine clearance was significantly increased. In 10 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis treated with rifampicin (mean 5 months) the degree of serum protein binding of lignocaine, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and HDL-cholesterol concentration was not different from that of matched control patients. These results suggest that differential induction of these variables may occur.
