title: Effect of diet and drugs on the qualitative and quantitative distribution of cytochromes P-450 in rat liver.
abstract: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either Purina chow or a nutritionally adequate liquid control diet containing either 4 or 38% of the total caloric intake as fat. The hepatic cytochromes -450 were induced in these animals either by the administration of phenobarbital, beta-naphthoflavone, or isocaloric replacement of the carbohydrate of the liquid diets by ethanol at a level of 36% of total calories for 4 or 6 weeks. Three distinct groups of cytochromes P-450 could be efficiently separated by ion-exchange chromatography of microsomal preparations from these rats. The concentration of each group of cytochromes P-450 was markedly affected by variations in lipid and carbohydrate content of the diet as well as by administration of drugs.
