Abstract excerpt
1. It has previously been shown that the extent of hepatic phospholipidosis induced by chronic amiodarone treatment correlates with the degree of drug accumulation in liver tissue. 2. To investigate a possible influence of pharmacogenetic factors, biochemical and morphological investigations were carried out in two rat strains differing in debrisoquine hydroxylation. 3. Plasma and liver tissue concentrations of...
