Abstract

The form of cytochrome P-450 that is inducued by phenobarbital increased significantly after chronic ethanol feeding. It was identified by direct immunofluorescence in the hepatocyte cytoplasm throughout the hepatic lobule of the control rats, the ethanol-fed, and the phenobarbital-treated rats.
In the control rats, the fluorescence was barely disecenible but slightly more intense in the centrilobular than perilobular zones. In the ethanol-fed rats, the fluorescence was much more intense in the centrilobular zones, but was not as intense as that in the phenobarbital-treated rats. The tissue distribution and induction site of this component of the mixed function oxidases may be relevant to the site of an increased drug toxicity after chronic ethanol feeding as well as after phenobarbital treatment.
