Administration of Xenobiotics With Anti-estrogenic Effects Results in mRNA Induction of Adult Male-Specific Cytochrome P450 Isozymes in the Livers of Adult Female Rats

Abstract.: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) catalyzes the oxidation of many endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. The expression of CYP isozymes are modulated by endogenous hormones and xenobiotics. We found that, although CYP2C11 and CYP3A2 are adult male-specific isozymes, they are also expressed in prepubert...
