After a single treatment with d-methamphetamine (philopon) at a dose of 8 mg/kg in 10 weeks old female Wistar rats, heme oxygenase activity was enhanced at 3 hr and reached its peak level at 12 hr, whereas cytochrome P-450 content showed the lowest level at 12 hr. However, activity of δ-aminolevulinic acid synthetase was not affected. Twenty-four hr later, all measured parameters returned to nearly initial levels at zero time. The pretreatment with cycloheximide blocked the increase of heme oxygenase activity in philopon-treated animals.
