Abstract:The associations between liver histological changes and hepatic cytochrome P-450 content (P-450) and the activities of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase (ECD) have been investigated in 30 diabetics undergoing diagnostic liver biopsy. There were more than 10-fold interindividual variations in P-450 contents and AHH and ECD activities in the diabetics. P-450 content decreased with increasing severity of liver histological changes, whereas AHH and ECD activities were significan… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
