title: Effect of estrogen pretreatment on the intestinal cytochrome P-450 in female rats.
abstract: The effect of estrogen hormones on the cytochrome P-450-linked hydroxylation system of rat small intestine was investigated. Estrogens were found to increase the activity of the intestinal arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase as well as the level of cytochrome P-450 in female rats. There was essentially no difference in the increase of the concentration of cytochrome P-450 due to the duration of pretreatment.
