Abstract excerpt
The present study describes the mechanism of the dampened induction of the CYP2B1 and CYP2B2 genes following phenobarbital treatment in the phenotypically obese fa/fa Zucker rat. The fa/fa Zucker rat demonstrated a threefold lower level of CYP2B1/2B2 enzyme induction, as indicated by reduced testosterone oxidation at the 16 beta position and resorufin formation from pentoxy- and benzyloxyresorufin, protein...
