Abstract excerpt
The synergistic effect of NADPH and NADH on P450 functions upon pre-mutagens requiring metabolism during the incubation conditions used in the liver microsomal assay (LMA) was studied. The mean specific activity (Asp) during 1 h of pre-incubation (LMA) of some microsomal mono-oxygenases (i.e. ethylmorphine N-demethylase, p-nitroanisole O-demethylase and aminopyrine N-demethylase) examined with S9 fractions from...
