  • Title: Effect of consumption of milk from goats fed Senecio jacobaea on hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme activities in rats.

    Abstract:
    Milk from lactating goats fed tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) was evaluated for its ability to influence hepatic drug metabolism. The milk after being freeze-dried was fed to male rats for 1 week ad lib. A significant reduction in the activities of hepatic aminopyrine N-demethylase and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase was obtained. There was no significant change in the activities of microsomal epoxide hydrolase and cytosolic glutathione S-transferase. The data suggest that consumption of milk from goats fed Senecio jacobaea produces a selective alteration of the activities of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes.
