The female dark agouti (DA) rat lacks CYP2D1, the equivalent enzyme in the rat to human CYP2D6 (debrisoquine hydroxylase), and shows impaired metabolism of a number of CYP2D6 substrates. However, from the data available in the literature it is not entirely clear whether the enzyme deficiency in the DA rat is restricted to CYP2D1, and whether factors such as age and substrate concentration are important...
