title: Efficiency of enzyme-inducing agents in rats with intrahepatic cholestasis.
abstract: Inductors of the monooxygenase system benzonal, halonal, and halodif prevented the development of intrahepatic cholestasis induced by a-naphthylisothiocyanate and stimulated detoxifying function of the liver in rats. These agents increased the content of microsomal protein and cytochrome P-450 and accelerated metabolism of types I and II substrates. This was accompanied by a decrease of serum concentrations of total and free bilirubin and activity of liver-specific enzymes. Phenobarbital did not prevent the development of hepatocyte cytolysis.
