  • Title: Study of benzphetamine-N-demethylase in streptozotocin-diabetic mice and rats: evidence for the induction of catalytically and immunologically specific forms of cytochrome P450.

    Abstract:
    Phenobarbital treatment and streptozotocin-diabetes both increase, in mouse and rat microsomes, a benzphetamine-N-demethylase activity which can be inhibited by a specific antibody raised against purified rat phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450. However, similar studies performed on cytochrome P-450 A and B fractions separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, clearly proved that streptozotocin-diabetes promotes in mice the synthesis of two new species of cytochrome P-450 and that the streptozotocin diabetes-induced forms are different in mouse and rat. No such modifications were observed in the mixed-function oxidase system of congenitally diabetic mice.
